"We are in the starting blocks"
"There are technological and medical advances that are very serious. Everything leads us to believe that we can imagine our scenarios now."
Many festivals began to develop their programming as early as last spring, when it became clear that their 2020 editions were going to fall apart.
"Many of us are in the starting blocks to announce all the artists who have confirmed their coming to us", affirms Jean-Paul Roland.
