Under capricious skies, the 39th Paléo Festival Nyon kept all its promises. In spite of some extreme weather conditions during the installation period, the courage and solidarity of the staff made sure the miracle happened: the 2014 Festival took place on time and in the best possible conditions. Marked by performances from Stromae and Elton John, who proved themselves capable of living up to the expectations of the huge audiences gathered in front of the Grande Scène, the 39thedition took place in a joyous and light-hearted atmosphere. The generosity of Maxime Le Forestier and the raw authenticity of Seasick Steve also moved festivalgoers. In the same vein, James Blunt and Julien Doré provoked emotional responses from an already conquered audience. On the revelations front, Jungle’s burning sensuality had the Asse plain grooving and the Young Fathers conquered a packed Détour. The Arches stage provided the backdrop for some industrial electro from Gesaffelstein and the explosive, fusion universe of M.I.A. As for the Swiss, the colourful electro of Oy and the inflamed sets from Mimetic won the popular vote. Not forgetting the dazzling performance by, Bastian Baker, in a last-minute guest role, who yet again confirmed the depth of his talent. At the Village du Monde with its enchanting and colourful cord decor, the Chiva Gantiva produced a musical fireworks display.

The Ruche yet again lived up to expectations, taking visitors on a dreamlike journey with its whacky, innovative shows. The giant Ferris wheel at the HES-SO space was certainly one of the major attractions of the week, allowing young and old alike a unique, birds-eye view of Paléo, just as beautiful seen from above.
