The third edition of Omaha Festiv expands its ambition

Omaha Festiv announced on a Saturday evening its third edition on the heights of the beach, with the ambition to pay tribute to American culture through rock. Antoine de Bellaigue, president of the tourist office and organizer, recalled the preparation carried out for several months by the team, elected officials and volunteers of the intercommunality, especially for the younger generations.

The festival was to contribute to local entertainment, attractiveness and economy. The organizers announced a renewed program compared to the previous two editions.

At 7:30 p.m., Drytown Project, a rock band from Caen founded in 2008, was due to open. Around 8:30 p.m., the six musicians of Patchamama would mix ska, reggae, world, electronic rap and folk in a mixed French song. At 9:50 p.m., Plastic Riot, a trio previously named Avatar since 2008 and renamed in February, would offer synthesizer, percussion and punk energy, between influences from Gang of Four and Cure.

Around 11 p.m., the Spaniards of Muyayo Rif, trained in 2000 and presented as a headliner of the new Barcelona scene, would close the evening. The Hamel-aux-Prêtres site opened at 6:30 p.m., with concerts until midnight, free parking and catering. Admission cost eight euros and was free for children under ten years old.
