Chant du Gros will celebrate its 35th anniversary with four nights of music in 2027, following an edition that drew about 43,000 people over three evenings in Le Noirmont, in Switzerland’s Jura region.
The festival ended late Saturday after performances by artists including Julien Doré, Bigflo & Oli, Hélène Ségara, Michel Fugain, Helena, Superbus and Matt Pokora. The attendance figure represented a slight decline from last year, when more than 45,000 festivalgoers attended.
Crowds gathered near the festival’s main stage, known as the “holy stage,” for Matt Pokora’s many hits on Saturday night. Earlier, Superbus delivered an energetic performance to an enthusiastic audience, including songs such as “Butterfly” and “Lola.” The French group first appeared at the Jura festival 24 years ago.
