The Indochinese flag floats on the Arena in the Pays d’Aix, the large room in Aix-en-Provence. A touring truck and a huge acronym in the mauve colors of the “Arena Tour” welcome this Tuesday evening the nearly 7,000 spectators of the very first concert of the new Epic of Indochina, the most popular of French rock groups. After each receiving a luminous bracelet, the fans rush to the copiously garnished merchandising stand and the selfie space where they take pictures in front of the last album cover. Enzo, 8, made the V of the victory at Emma, his mother. “It’s his first concert,” proudly specifies the Marseillaise. She, her thirty-fifth of Indochina in twenty-eight years!
The full displays tour with 650,000 tickets sold. The group and its 27 trucks stop for four days in Aix. Like U2 or Coldplay, Indochina treats her shows and pushes her technological prowess to each tour. What will he do less than three years after his epic tour of the stadiums, the “Central Tour”?
