Last year, until the end, the Trans Musicales de Rennes had resisted the pandemic and the resumption of contamination in the fall. But the confinement will have sounded the end of the hopes of the organizers as well as the festival-goers. “We do not want our desire to maintain the festival to turn into relentlessness,” explained a press release dated October 29, 2020, announcing this cancellation of the Trans, which was to take place from December 2 to 6, 2020 in Rennes.
“Maintaining the festival in accordance with the latest announcements relating to the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic would put us in a situation of having to undermine what we wanted to offer you, and of having to deconstruct the programming that we had developed (. ..) what the implementation of a reconfinement of at least four weeks makes impossible, it is to be able to go to the end of the organization of this event, despite the commitment of the teams and the best will in the world “, was it added in the same press release.
A few weeks before the start of the festival, uncertainty reigned around the organization of this edition in Rennes, a city subject at that time to a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. “The government announcements of Thursday, October 22 call into question a number of points in the physiognomy of the festival, already largely modified for this edition. We are currently working to determine all the consequences of these new measures, in order to make the best possible decision” , could we read in a press release published Friday, October 23, announcing the suspension of the ticket office for the concerts of the Freedom of the MeM and the Antipode, scheduled for Tuesday, October 27 at 1 p.m.
