FAMILY WEEKEND 02
Next is Family Week-end 02, on 13th and 14th of August. This time, the party will be located on the other side of Montpellier, going west in the direction of the famous city of Sète and its outstanding Etang de Thau. Frontignan will host this second weekend in a green spot, with many trees and natural air. A Kid zone will be built for that weekend and a charming circular arena will welcome the second stage. Once again, connection will be easy with all the big cities, thanks to train station located only 400 meters away : 10 minutes from Montpellier center, 5 minutes from Sète. Ideal to come and enjoy this party weekend safely ! Musically speaking, the saturday will be focus on House music, with a never-seen before transition between the American legend of House Danny Tenaglia, the DJ’s DJ, and the most acclaimed House artist since 4 years, FISHER. Next to them will be Dutch star Oliver Heldens, listed on the Top 100 DJs since 2013, who will perform under his dark techno moniker, HI-LO. The succession of these 3 sets promise to be something! The next day, Sunday 14th of August, will be a wonderful trip for all the fans of Deep and Melodic House & Techno: an exclusive back-to-back between the legendary Dixon and his new favourite Jimi Jules, Afterlife’s wonder. Innellea, All Day I Dream’s tastemaker Öona Dahl, or best friends Joris Voorn & Kölsch concluding this sunday on the main stage. On the other stage, much more intimate, we’ll have a collection of groove masters : Super Flu, Cioz b2b Sam Shure, Kadosh, TERR, Nico Morano, Sascha Braemer, KEENE and some of the artists from our Family Piknik Music own label. This second Weekend in Frontignan will offer a very different experience from the first one taking place in Lunel’s Arenas. Family Piknik’s mastermind, Tom Pooks, is proud of this new partnership with Frontignan city hall: « They immediately have embraced our project. Thanks to them, we’ve managed to create a second Family Piknik weekend in a vegetal, green and tree-lined decor which sticks to our initial concept : family, kids, picnic, under the trees. Cherry on the cake, we have the proximity of the train station, the stunning Etang de Thau and some great beaches all around. All we need to enjoy a mesmerising party weekend.
