The Crossroads Festival : a festival that we are particularly fond of at haum\u00e9a, especially because it is entirely dedicated to the promotion of both the local scene of the North of France and its neighboring countries, including Belgium, but also Germany \u2013 and this year, an African country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, will also be represented ! By taking advantage of its strategic geographic location in Europe, the festival gathers a rather cosmopolitan audience, as well as a large number of artists and professionals. The festival comes back this year from the 8th to the 10th of November at the venue where it all started, La Condition Publique in Roubaix, for a 7th edition with an eclectic artistic curation as well as a series of professional meetings showcasing some of the main subjects at hand right now in the music industry. Let’s see what awaits us in November \u2013 and if you live nearby, you can get your tickets for the festival today !<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Crossroads<\/p>\n

\u2013 all of the 22 artists & bands programmed for the showcases of the 7th\u00a0edition of the Crossroads Festival<\/i><\/p>\n

22 artists of the European music scenes showcasing lots of different music genres.<\/h2>\n

As we’ve mentioned right above, the Crossroads Festival is known for its eclectic artistic choices, a curation choice which stems from the desire to showcase the wide range of emerging talents there are to be found on today’s European scene. And if last year the concerts had exceptionally taken place in the Salle Watremez next to the Cave aux Po\u00e8tes \u2013 a local venue known for representing & supporting the local rap & hip-hop music scene \u2013 this year, all of the showcases will take place at the Condition Publique, a venue that has been working hand in hand with the festival since the very beginning.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the artists & the music genres that are being highlighted this year, 22 artists will perform on the span of 3 days ; 7 artists are from the local scene of the North of France : you’ll get to enjoy the electro pop tunes of Blue Katrice as well as the indie pop of YMNK, but also some other music genres that are quite difficult to enjoy live since they’re not often programmed, such as hyper pop, whose sounds will be represented by FIG.<\/p>\n

The national French independent scene will also defend the sounds of electronic music aesthetics, but also of more organic-sounding genres : rock and its sub-genres have always held a special place in the Crossroads’s heart, and this edition will be no exception. Emerging artists such as P\u00c9NICHE, Diamond Dog and Rank-O will represent their colors.<\/p>\n

As for the 4 international artists that are programmed for this 7th edition, apart from Florence Besch and her alternative indie gems, three groups & artists will be ready to have the crowds headbanging to rock (Ada Oda), EBM (Krakenizer ) and afro-punk sounds (Lova Lova) while representing their countries.<\/p>\n

And, as we’ve said, the Crossroads’ program is eclectic but also very thoughtful : a kids live show has also been included in the list, and it will take place on November 8th ; the local duo Baby Pop will be performing an electronic music play for their (very) young audience.<\/p>\n

All the artists that will be performing in November can be found on the festival’s official playlist on Spotify !<\/p>\n
