• Botanique, all venues, May 9 at 20 p.m.
- Balkan Night. After the Touareg night last year, the Botanique decided to honor another musical region. The Balkan Beat Box, a sound, electronic excess, going back to the traditional soil will be joined on stage by the Mahala Rai Banda from Bulgaria (Crammed record company).
• Marquee at the Botanique, Saturday May 10 at 20:00 p.m.
- CocoRosie and the Mons Orchestra. The famous duo of sisters Bianca and Sierra. Two ingenues who have become masters in the art of painting soundscapes, a bit like Cat Power, they say, but also Mum or Sigur Ros. They will be accompanied by the Mons orchestra symphonique. Which should clash. Clarification: the Mons Orchestra will be in a reduced formation (15 musicians), which should facilitate the adaptation - in a heavy formation, the symphonic tends to slow down and often weigh down the lighter pop concept). In the first part, Quinn Walker, a real "UFO" of the American indie scene.
• Cirque Royal, May 15 at 20 p.m.
