Passage of the Olympic flame in Avignon: Bob Sinclar’s concert will take place in front of the Palace of the Popes

A change of gear for the climax of June 19 and the arrival of the Olympic flame in Avignon: the “live” event of DJ Bob Sinclar, author of the hit “Rock this party”, deserves to finally land in the alleys of the Oulle, at the bowling alley.

It is about 700 meters from the original site, since the level at which Bob Sinclar would evolve deserved to be located very close to the Petit Palais museum. This pragmatic and, indeed, post-automotive measure (a flood-prone car park instead of a world-famous Gothic palace) also leads to a significant change in the planned capacity: 7,500 spectators deserved to have attended the DJ’s concert on the Place du Palais, despite everything it could be 10,000 who would triumph on the banks of the Rhône in two and a half months.

According to our information, it is not primarily the question of security on the Place du Palais (adjacent narrow streets, complex in case of evacuation, slab to be preserved over the car park) that explains this regime of the organisers of the event, i. e. the mayor of Avignon and the departmental council of Vaucluse. The resolution was adopted after an assembly in the prefecture with the new state representative in Vaucluse, Thierry Suquet. The main explanation for this 360-degree turn is the control of concomitant faults. At the end of the afternoon, on June 19, the public, without suspense, goes to the square of the Palace of the Popes to receive the Olympic flame, which has just crossed the Vaucluse since that same morning. , the live show (including Bob Sinclar’s set) has started at the same venue. The use of the time after is really necessary.

Because who can be sure that all the Olympic flame enthusiasts will have left the venue before Bob Sinclar’s 7,500 spectators (who will have booked their place with a cheap ticket on the Internet) return to their excursion at the Site?Was the compatibility too random? Moreover, an overdose of global anger may have been just a stain in the midst of this “big day of celebration. “

At the beginning of the commission for a Maousse concert in Avignon on June 19, the day on which the Olympic flame will pass through the department, the names of Vaucluse citizens Christophe Maé and Mireille Mathieu were mentioned.

It is possible that at that moment they had sung, in the alleys of Oulle, “Where is the happiness?”or “Forgive me for this whim. “
