C'est merveilleux!! I've never heard of this music festival, have you? Apparently, it's been going on for 15 years. It's held in an 18th century fort on the coast of France. Held the 12-14 of August, this year's festival will be its 15th anniversary and will feature the likes of Animal Collective, !!!, Mercury Rev, Yo La Tengo, Art Brut, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Polyphonic Spree, Daniel Johnson, Boom Bip, Metric, Maximo Park, The Raveonettes, The Organ, and more.

La Route du Rock is a french pop and electronic festival which has existed for fifteen years. In addition to its line-up, what makes it especially alluring for French and European people is its main location : a 18th century fort close to the beaches of Saint-Malo. You will also have the opportunity to listen to downtempo mixes during the day, before the gigs, on the beach
