OLD PLOWS. After the cancellation of Celine Dion’s visit, the Vieilles Charrues festival unveils the program for its 2023 edition.
[Mis à jour le 13 décembre 2022 à 14h41]An edition without Céline Dion, but with an explosive program: the organizers of Les Vieilles Charrues have lifted the veil on the program for the 2023 edition, which will be held from Thursday 13 to Monday 17 July. For this 31st edition, the headliners include Robbie Williams, Blur, Aya Nakamura, Rosalía, Soprano, but also Phoenix, Jain, Lomepal and Bigflo & Oli.
Added to this list are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, already announced by the organizers of Les Vieilles Charrues. We also knew that Celine Dion had to once again cancel her visit to Carhaix next summer. “We have known for a few weeks that it will not come in 2023. It gave us time to work”, explain the programmers to Ouest France.
Celine Dion (again) cancels her visit to the Vieilles Charrues
For Celine Dion at Vieilles Charrues, we will still have to wait. Already postponed due to the Covid, then the state of health of the Canadian singer, Celine Dion’s concert at Les Vieilles Charrues in the summer of 2023 is canceled again. Thursday, December 8, the interpreter of my heart Will Go On announced, in a video posted on Instagram, the cancellation of the dates of his European tour in the spring and summer of 2023. Including the concert at the Vieilles Charrues.
“Céline Dion, who continues her recovery following a health problem, announces the cancellation of 8 shows in the summer of 2023, including the Les Vieilles Charrues festival in Carhaix, on July 13”, confirm the organizers of the Breton festival on Twitter . Festival-goers can now request a refund for tickets for July 13, the date of Celine Dion’s concert, on the festival website.
Note that the concert of the Canadian diva will not be postponed this time to the following year. In question ? The uncertainties surrounding festivals in the summer of 2024. “We had known for several weeks that the date of 2023 was uncertain because of his state of health. We had started working on a date in 2024 as part of a tour project, it must have been July 11, 2024 for the Vieilles Charrues”, explains Jerome Trehorel, director of Vieilles Charrues, interviewed on France Bleu. But due to the Olympic Games in France, the Minister of the Interior had warned that, for lack of sufficient police personnel, major cultural events should be postponed.
“This is the first collateral damage of this son-in-law, it’s a very hard blow and I hope it won’t be the tree that hides the forest with all the other international artists who will avoid the France in 2024 because of this uncertainty”, adds Jérôme Tréhorel.
