Ten thousand festival-goers at the Check-in Party in Creuse

The poster was beautiful and it attracted people to the Guéret-Saint Laurent aerodrome, in Creuse: the Check-in Party succeeded in its bet, three years after a first edition hailed for its quality. The organization hoped for 8,000 festival-goers, he attracted 10,000.”We are happy to see new peopleappreciates Sébastien Chevrier, co-artistic director of the event. We consolidated the audience from 2019, they came back in 2022 and we attracted new spectators. The editorial line has resonated with fans of independent music, especially rock and electro.“

In 2019, the organizers had almost reached their goal, with 14,000 people over three days out of the 15,000 expected. After this success, the covid-19 pandemic forced the organizers to cancel the 2020 and 2021 editions. “It was disappointing not to continue in 2020, but it allowed us to better structure our event, to better control the sitesays Sébastien Chevrier. We didn’t want to let go of the story and the covid only reinforced our desire to go back!“

On social networks, there are many music lovers for rent “a festival on a human scale” and with impeccable programming, despite the cancellations of two groups (the Australians of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard due to covid and the Parisians of Serpent). The luxury replacements, The Libertines, the group of Pete Doherty, won over the public. “I don’t want to landwrites a user on the Facebook page of Check in Party. I applaud the pilots, the company, the volunteers.“

“Can’t wait for next year, I will do the 600 km of road again without hesitation“, enthuses Clara, who came from Perpignan with her spouse. And she says: “the programming was top notch, the site is great, the atmosphere is great and the food is delicious!“. On the catering side, the festival has indeed insisted that the food trucks use local products. On the programming side, the organizing team will start working on the 2023 edition next fall.
