Omaha Festiv prepares an intergenerational event for its third edition

Created in August 2010 by the elected officials of the Intercom de Trévières and the tourist office, Omaha Festiv paid tribute to American culture through rock. Antoine de Bellaigue, president of the office and organizer, emphasized several months of joint preparation with elected officials and volunteers, particularly focused on the younger generations.

The objectives were to diversify the image of a territory marked by 1944, to make it attractive, to support the economy and to federate local actors. Communication, stage, food and drinks solicited companies in the sector; quality also required the use of professionals. Attendance increased among residents as well as tourists.

The third edition announced a program from 7:30 p.m. to midnight. Drytown Project, a rock band formed in Caen in 2008, was scheduled to open at 7:30 p.m. Patchamama would follow around 8:30 p.m.: six musicians with an average age of twenty years mixing ska, reggae, world, rap, electronics and folk, with thoughtful texts and a mixed-raced French song, dancing and open to meetings.

Around 9:50 p.m., Plastic Riot was to take the stage. This trio, formed in 2008 under the name Avatar and renamed in February, added synthesizer and percussion to a punk energy. The presentation brought his tracks closer to the groove of Gang of Four and the coldness of Cure.

The headliner Muyayo Rif was scheduled around 11 p.m. Founded in Spain in 2000, this group of the new Barcelona scene was presented as powerful, energetic, optimistic and joyful.

The Hamel-aux-Prêtres site opened at 6:30 p.m., with free parking and catering. The announced prices were eight euros on site, five in pre-sale until the evening of August 9 at the office, at the Leclerc Center or on Ticketnet, and free for children under ten years old.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The announcement prints "Friday, August 11", while the other cut on this third edition announces a Saturday. The weekday is not arbitrarily corrected; the program is presented without affirming it.
