He will deliver an extended 3 hours sunset mix from 19h to 22h, right after Sven Väth’s dropping his best vinyls from 4 pm to 7 pm. Cocoon veteran will do his 3rd Family Piknik, he became a sort of godfather for the French festival as he really enjoyed the open-air state of mind and experimented crowd on the dancefloor.
On the Flamingo stage, which will be dedicated to a more melodic atmosphere, the closing set will be something you won’t see anywhere else in France this year. Two living legends sharing the decks, Sasha & John Digweed, like they’re used to do for Resistance and Ultra, Kappa Futur Festival and Creamfields to name a few.
The Opening Concert will be free for all the festival attendees and it aims to be the perfect launch for the festival, with a focus on some of the most exciting Live Acts within the Electronic scene playing from 5 pm till 2 am. Meanwhile, on Sunday 4th of August, the 8th edition of the festival will start from 10 am and the Main stage will be focussed on tech-house and techno, while the Flamingos stage will be dedicated to a deeper trip through some of the best progressive house DJs in action.
Family Piknik is used to cooking up high-level line-ups and this year will be no different, with the first ave of names including the legendary duo of Sasha & John Digweed, who have been playing together since the 90s and most recently had another huge summer playing in Ibiza at Resistance. They are joined by the techno icons Carl Cox, whose owns Ibiza nights and Intec label have made him a bonafide legend, plus Cocoon ring leader Sven Vath, who always adds color and curveballs to his selections.
