This year's show was held from 20 July to 23 July. The choice of performers for Les Vieilles Charrues Festival has always been uniquely diverse, which has set this festival apart from many of its rivals. Performing at this years festival were Numerous French superstars including Placebo, Mauss, and Julien Clerc, and International stars such as The Pixies and Tracy Chapman.
Les Vieilles Charrues is presented on three stages, the main stage being Scené Glenmor. Sound design was executed by Audiolite Sonorisation's chief Engineer Patrick Passarel. The system for the Scene Glenmor stage consisted of 48 Adamson Y18s per side, 28 ground stacked Adamson T-21 Subs, 16 Adamson Y10s as centre fills, 24 Adamson SpekTrix boxes for the outfield and 16 Adamson Y10s were flown for delays.
All Adamson T21s were powered by 28 Lab.gruppen fP6400s, 28 Crest 9001s and 14 Crest 8001s powered all the other Adamson speakers. Processing was taken care of with LAKE Contour and BSS Omnidrive processors. Midas XL4, Midas H3000 and Digico mixing consoles were used at FOH.
