Early August in Saint-Malo will always be a synonym for Nologo BZH, as the festival returns for its 8th edition in the iconic Fort de Saint-Pere.
The festival features a once again deep lineup featuring headliners like Shaggy, Inner Circle, Meryl, L’Entourloop, Groundation and deeper cuts like Beijing born reggae artist Stinging Ray and reggae crew Wild Sound Sis’tem.
Nologo BZH isn’t just a festival, it’s a broader political message more important than ever. With festivals getting cancelled due to heatwaves caused by climate change and the sound system, festival and rave scene being more and more pressured.
Taking its name from the book “No Logo” by Naomi Klein, it hopes to broadcast the message found in reggae music : Independence and Liberty. Meaning no government funding nor private sponsors, and ecological actions such as free camping space for people coming by bike and thorough waste sorting and recycling.
As usual the festival will be split between two stages : The main stage nicknamed “Tyrone Downie” in a tribute to the Wailers’ pianist will host the main acts in the middle of the fort. On the other side of the festival resonates the Dub Arena, home of the Legal Shot Sound System. Loved by many of the festival goers, this stage is way more intimate. A small stage hidden in the trees, you can feel the amazing vibe. On Friday, it will host the highly anticipated DJ Set by legends Stand High Patrol FEAT Asher Senator, you already know the energy and vibe will be unforgettable in this incredible setting.
Tickets for Friday and Saturday are already sold out, don’t miss your chance and grab some for Sunday here. Check out the full line-up on the poster below.
