Rouyn-Noranda is currently in the spotlight with everything surrounding the Horne Foundry, but on a more positive note, the Emerging Music Festival will celebrate its 20th anniversary there from 1er to September 4.
Posted at 10:46 a.m.
Among the headliners, we find CRi, which made a splash on Wednesday evening on the Place des Festivals as part of the Jazz Festival.
There is also the American group Animal Collective, Loud, the one and only Hubert Lenoir, as well as the queen of disco Lisa LeBlanc, the Hay Babies, Lou-Adriane Cassidy, not to mention the rappers Sarahmée and Naya Ali.
The particularity of the FME is to take over places all over Rouyn-Noranda. We are expecting Chad VanGaalen, Les Louanges and Lydia Képinski at the Petit Théâtre du Vieux Noranda, while Gros Mené should shake up the legendary Cabaret de la Dernier Chance. Shows are also planned at Paramount (Virginie B), at the Curling Club (Kee Avil), as well as at Garage Rheault (AfrotroniX, Le Couleur).

On the stage of the Guinguette chez Edmund — that of the Horne Foundry — will perform Connaisseur Ticaso, the Hôtesses d’Hilaire, Choses sauvage, Sheenah Ko and the Parisian group Brama.
Note that we are expecting, for two performances in the Diable Rond bar, country singer and filmmaker Johnny Pilgrim, to whom we owe clips of great rock groups, including Metallica, Kiss and Guns N’Roses.
