our selection of concerts to (re)live in replay

69. This is the number of concerts that shook the Kerampuilh plain on 14, 15, 16 and 17 July. A week after the celebration of its 30th edition and its exceptional programming, France Télévisions offers you a (re)immersion in these historic Vieilles Charrues. For the 280,000 nostalgic festival-goers, or those absent full of remorse, 13 concert replays are offered to you by Culturebox (at this address). And for those in a hurry, here is the selection of the most memorable performances selected by France info.

The Brawl Club

Goodbye scene. Goodbye pit. Goodbye musical borders. Goodbye convention. “We are Brawl”. And welcome to their Club. For an hour and fifteen minutes, each with a microphone in hand, the five hyperactive members of the French group mix genres without limits. Techno, pop, dub, rock sounds… Rapped, sung, slammed, self-tuned vocals… With one thing in common: freedom, the real thing. Mixing their latest project 2019-2019 to their old creations, the rave party takes over the Vieilles Charrues. Until closing this chaotic communion on their goodbye to you. The basses detonate, the lights fuse. A message : “I would have liked us to love each other. All”.

The sweetness of Luidji

Thousands of broken hearts singing together. To close the late afternoon of the second day of the festival, the melodies of the Ile-de-France rapper Luidji begin to envelop a conquered audience (or conquered in a short hour). “Do you remember us? When we seemed so far from everything?” On a few keyboard notes, the soft voice of the flayed thirty-year-old retraces his love affairs and his existential gamberges. Whether with songs from his latest EP Boscolo Exedraor his first album, Sadness Business: Season 1, a syrupy parenthesis takes hold of the Vieilles Charrues. Then the crooner ends up letting go of his microphone stand, and his energy fills the whole stage on more bubbling tracks.

The Brittany of Matmatah

“In 1998, that amp didn’t work. In 1999, that amp didn’t work. In 2001, this battery did not work. 2007, 2017, I think it worked.” And in 2022, for their sixth recital at the Vieilles Charrues, everything went perfectly again for the Brestois of Matmatah. Festival-goers as far as the eye can see. And all vibrate to the rhythms of electric guitar riffs, mixed with bombards, binious, and other Breton sounds. For the 30th anniversary of the Finistère festival, the four rockers with Celtic accents even took the liberty of inviting traditional dancers from the Kevrenn Alre (the bagad and the Celtic circle of Auray) to the party. Emma, The apology… and the classic Lambe An Dro : all their tubes pass there. Until “this little song, about heroes who push back the walls”. A touching cover of the song heroesof a David Bowie who would have been born in Breizh.

The “Dissidence” by Vitalic

No more doubt. After two canceled editions and two years of pandemic, the party is well and truly back at Les Vieilles Charrues. No need for words. Rays of all colors, drops of all weights, voices of all distortions… Producer and DJ Vitalic took over the 3rd night of the festival. Almost a year after the release of the first episode of its Dissent, the Dijonnais oscillated between frantic BPMs, saturated basses, then 80s synths and irresistible melodies. An hour between shadow and light. Between techno and disco. Punctuated by a few lulls, the tornado of sometimes dirty but always energetic beats ends with a last track which seems to borrow from the guitars of metal or hard rock.
