40 years of Paléo
Johnny Hallyday, Robbie Williams, Sting, Robert Plant, Joan Baez, Patti Smith and Véronique Sanson will be on the bill for the 40th Paléo Festival de Nyon, an anniversary that will bring together both legends and newcomers.
The Village du Monde, peregrinating from year to year, will stop in 2015 in the lands of the Far East. Folk, Paléo's first great love, will have a special place of honour, with a nod to the Festival's historic beginnings. Malicorne, headliner of the First Folk Festival in 1976, and Joan Baez will chaperone a generation of talented performers including the remarkable Passenger, siblings Angus & Julia Stone, the delicate Yael Naim, Benjamin Clementine and the orchestral Olivia Pedroli, accompanied by a quintet for the occasion.
Song, comedy, rap, electro and reggae are also on the program. Paléo will blow out its 40 candles with fireworks, after a classical concert by young pianist Louis Schwizgebel accompanied by the Orchestre des Continents.
For this anniversary edition, Paléo is adding an extra day and a host of projects specially designed for the occasion. Tickets and season tickets go on sale at noon on Wednesday April 22.
