Izïa Higelin’s concert will take place on Wednesday July 12 at the Francofolies, France Bleu La Rochelle reports on Monday. The singer is the subject of controversy and an investigation after the comments she made vis-à-vis Emmanuel Macron on Thursday July 6 during the “Les Nuits Guitares” festival in Beaulieu-sur-Mer ( Alpes-Maritimes). According to France Bleu La Rochelle, the direction of the Francofolies does not wish to communicate on the words of the singer but reaffirmed Monday that the concert of Izïa Higelin was “Of course“maintained.
During the “Guitar Nights” of Beaulieu-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes), the singer had mentioned a lynching of the President of the Republic. She also had to be exfiltrated from this concert. The Nice prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation for “public provocation to commit a crime or misdemeanor”.
On the other hand, the city of Marcq-en-Baroeul confirms the cancellation of the singer’s free concert, scheduled for Thursday evening at the racecourse. The Francofolies de La Rochelle festival, for its part, begins on Wednesday July 11 and should last until Sunday July 16.
