Sophie les Bas Bleus bring a combustible stage presence that fuses accordion, rap flows and rock riffs into something utterly their own. Their songs oscillate between social chronicle and everyday poetry, turning each performance into a collective release of energy — part pogo, part sing-along, part clenched fist.
On the main stage of Parc Montcalm, they kick off the Thursday evening programme at 19:00, setting the tone for a festival that prizes artists with something urgent to say.
