Furious rage and disturbing dreaminess, raw emotion and surreal humour, intimate vertigo and jubilant energy… It’s rare for rock bands to be able to unleash all these sensations, trapped as they are by too many codes, poses and self-awareness.

On Thursday 8 December, for the first of the festival’s three evenings on the vast Parc-expo site on the outskirts of Rennes, crowds flocked to the stage in Hall 3, where musicians electrified the words of three singers (Stanislas Carmont, Yohann Goetzmann, Aurélien Lobjoit) and a singer (Claire Ottaway) with autism.
