s. The Eurockéennes, a play on words involving ''rock'' (rock music) and ''européennes'' (Europeans), is a festival based in a nature reserve beside Lac de MalsaucyBelfort.
About
History
1989 marked the first time round for the festival, when it went under the name ''Le Ballon - Territoire de musiques'', named after the nearby Ballon d'Alsace. The festival was organised to take place on the Ballon d'Alsace, but the peninsula on the Malsaucy lake was chosen in the end, because it was easier to link by car, bus and even train. It was the brainchild of the Conseil général of the Territoire de Belfort, who wanted to dynamise their '' département'' with a big cultural event for its youths.
In 1990 the festival was renamed ''les Eurockéennes de Belfort''.
Attendance:
* 10,000 in 1989
* 70,000 in 1993
* 80,000 in 2002
* 95,000 in 2004
* 100,000 in 2006
* 100,000 in 2008
* 127,000 in 2013 (on 4 days)
* 102,000 in 2015
* 130,000 in 2017
* 135,000 in 2018
Les Eurockéennes takes place on the peninsula of Lake Malsaucy, 10 kilometres from Belfort. A number of different stages are present – la Grande Scène, le Chapiteau, la Loggia and la Plage. Most of the time there are simultaneous concerts on different stages; altogether in 2005 there were about 70.
