Well, it was the bungle of the century. The famous free concert by Keen’V on July 21, 2023, which had been on the music-lovers’ calendar for ages and had brought a whole host of people from all walks of life to Marmande, came to an abrupt end at the Filhole. Unfortunately, a series of technical problems put the lid on the party.
” Foutu pour foutu, after the fifth breakdown, we took off “
” Our show ended abruptly right in the middle of ‘Ne pars pas’. It was almost the opening, well the 5th track, what !”, spined Keen’V in an Instagram story. ” Each time, the sound, light and even the mic would go haywire for about three minutes. We had a moment of hesitation during the first breakdown… ‘It could happen,’ we thought. But after the fifth, we set sail&” he continues.
I’m as devastated as you are. We’ve worked hard, and I was looking forward to seeing the Marmande fans again…Â Keen’V
On the web, some of the disappointed expressed their disillusionment, and for some, their anger. ” This guy is letting us down rather than waiting two-good-minutes for everything to get back to normal ! Frankly, the 9,000 people who showed up in Marmande deserve better,” ranted one spectator.
Another questioned the city’s organization: ” Bizarre ! To host Garorock, they turn into electricity pros. Whereas here, they’re a bunch of dilettantes “.
The City of Marmande apologizes
A few minutes earlier, however, the concert by local band Flyin’pop had been completed almost without a hitch.
According to several fans present at the concert, it was one of the band members who told the audience about Keen’V’s departure. No sign of life from a representative of the town, making it all the more difficult for the audience to swallow.
When Le Républicain tapped on Marmande mayor Joël Hocquelet’s door, he said he was sorry about this more than regrettable incident, promising that it would be on the table for discussions with the mairie teams early next week. Also, in the afternoon, the City sent out a message on its social networks to express its ” most sincere apologies “.
“A technical repair was carried out, but the pastis was served too late for Keen’V to resume his concert. This is a situation we have already begun to analyze in order to understand why we experienced this fiasco, so that such a looseness is not repeated again ” retorts the Municipality, which promises to ” continue to organize events that are worthwhile, and to offer moments of festive communion. “
