Every June 21st we have a street music festival everywhere in France. Everyone is invited to play in the streets, and there is a group of bearded little brats that started at 7 pm to play a horrible hard rock with a lot of larsen at 3 houses from mine, so I have decided to emigrate, but for the moment I have not been very lucky.
I took first a beer with a friend met in the streets at the terrace of a bar. I don't know what was the more remarkable between the guy singing ACDC with shorts or a red haired waitress smoking cigars.
There are groups in every street, some with quite no public, some more interesting. The best one so far was a funny group of punk rock(photo at the bottom right), but this post would probably be deleted if I was giving you the lyrics of their songs. I don't know who they are, but I noticed 2 professional movie cameras filming them.
The brats in my street are continuing their noise and there is not only larsen now, but also a few groupies screaming. Horrible. I have to flee again. How is your evening so far ?

I was in Paris for the first ones in the 80's, but it was less popular than today. Large cities are now paying good artists to play for free, and you can hear many interesting concerts on June 21st. A few groups were also probably paid in my city, but my city is not rich.

@epiffanie You should let your son live his life : it is an occasion to party and meet people when you are young, and you don't want to have your parents with you.

Whoa sounds hectic. I can see how that would be annoying. We have a few festivals throughout the year including a big art one that just passed.... there are so many people everywhere. And od course everyone is drinking and stirring up trouble!

Yes, a lot of people are starting to drink early and there were a few drunk people screaming after midnight. The concert in my neighborhood stopped at 2am. I was back at home at 1am, and I finally opened the windows to hear the concert, as I could not sleep.

I love street music fests. Wish we would do more of them here.
