Description
The Festival decides to limit the size of audiences from now on in order to preserve the spirit of the event. This policy goes down well with the public: 181,462 people, happy to rediscover a more human dimension to their festival, give a resounding thumbs-up to these new measures. Full houses on Friday July 26th and Sunday July 28th meant that Paléo actually had to turn people away. Patti Smith makes her stage come-back, Lou Reed makes a little detour to Nyon. A fifth performing area, the Crique, provides a splendid backdrop to performers from the circus ring and street theatre.
