A concert at Hellfest in June 2018. -
SEBASTIEN SALOM GOMIS / SIPA
A gauge of 5,000 spectators max, seated and distanced.
This is what the few festivals that will be held this summer should look like.
While some believe that it is always better than nothing, others find it difficult to envisage festivities like this.
"For metal, it is not possible", notably lamented Ben Barbaud, the director of Hellfest, after the announcements of the Ministry of Culture in mid February.
And indeed, for certain musical styles, rock, metal or even rap, where the slam and the pogo ignite the concerts, difficult to project.
Doesn't depriving yourself of it ultimately remove all the salt from these moments of celebration, release and sharing?
Would the spectators be ready to skip the pogo to attend a concert?
Followers of these festive dances (and not compatible with barrier gestures…), what pleasure does pogo bring you? Are you planning a concert by your favorite band or artist without it? Is it a necessary sacrifice or a ritual that it is impossible to do without? Finally, what is your memory of your most beautiful pogo (and its variants)? Tell us. You can testify using the form below. Your answers will be used for writing an article. Thank you !
