For the first time this year, a “Fringe” stage dedicated to new talents will be set up in the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, and 21 bands will perform at the heart of the MIDEM market for 3 days, from Sunday, January 23rd to Tuesday, January 25th, 2011.
Canada, Germany, France, Austria, United Kingdom, Spain, Russia, United States, the 21 groups of young artists performing on the Fringe stage come from all backgrounds to participate in this underground and acoustic programming that vigorously complements the lineup of MIDEM concerts. Each group will perform during the day on the Palais des Festivals stage and again in the evening, in one of the three Cannes venues where the Fringe has taken root: Morrison’s Irish Pub, The Lounge, and The Quay’s Irish Pub.
“After the success of last year’s Fringe programming, MIDEM offers this year young artists from around the world the opportunity to play, day and night, in front of an audience of music industry professionals,” comments Dominique Leguern, Director of MIDEM. “By placing the Fringe stage in the exhibition area of the market, MIDEM emphasizes that musical creation and supporting new talents are at the core of its priorities.”
