Guns N 'Roses on the Plains July 12 - The Quebec City Summer Festival (QEF) has to find the last headlining its 2013 programming. This is Guns N 'Roses and its eccentric leader, Axl Rose, who will perform on the Plains of Abraham Friday, July 12.
It's Thursday, late afternoon, the program director of FEQ, Louis Bellavance, has reached an agreement with the U.S. group must Sweet Child O 'Mine, Paradise City and November Rain. It will return after a three year absence in Quebec for Guns N 'Roses, which occurred on 1 February 2010, at the Pepsi Coliseum in front of 6,500 people.
This choice may seem risky: the rockers have indeed a habit of going on stage with late hours at the risk of irritating fans. But Mr. Bellavance said that the group is repositioning and is surrounded by a new team. Apart from a few festivals, guys playing in smaller venues than what they are accustomed to bring their record straight.
"We want to have the same kind of luck with Jean Leloup last year: people asking questions and he gave us a great show, he says. We think we have an artist who wants to play and give us all a show. "
The programmer also said to have taken its references and the company is more timely, offers solid performances, and more to come with an impressive production. Still, the FEQ has opted for caution in setting a curfew in the contract.
"We know they want to play at least two hours, then began an area where it is possible to present the show and where it is no longer possible for them to be aware of that. Obviously, they are taking a risk, because if they do not respect it, it will not be required to meet our commitments. There is not an artist who would sign it, but they, with their history, they are accustomed. "
Guns N 'Roses will not be seen as a group content nostalgic, so he asked to be preceded by emerging formations, whose names will be announced later.
The original concert July 12 was to be that of a European artist singing in the language of Molière. Programmers have stepped up efforts to find another head of French poster. However, when supply of Guns N 'Roses came up, they decided to take it.
Louis Bellavance and his team still have a few cases to settle. Or the replacement of Sharon Jones forced to cancel his show July 4 at Place D'Youville for health reasons, has not been identified. And talks with the artist who precede Stevie Wonder 14 July on the Plains are not completed. As the early stages of Carly Rae Jepsen July 12 at Parc de la Francophonie, they would be determined, but the FEQ expect approval of the young star.
