France's annual Trans Musicales festival will be holding its thirtieth event this year, which runs from December 2-6.
The festival in Rennes, Brittany, has become renowned for unearthing stars on the ascendant, featuring early performances from the likes of Underground Resistance,
The Prodigy and
Laurent Garnier. Taking place again in various venues ranging from the Liberté to the Parc Expo, the 2009 edition will feature a diverse line-up that runs the gamut all the way from techno to rock. Berlin-based indie-pop trio
The Whitest Boy Alive will help to warm things up on the Thursday night, while the real party will kick off on the following evening.
Fever Ray are set to showcase their gothic electro-pop, while
The Field, Belgian discoteers
Aeroplane, and
Switch and
Diplo's dancehall-flavoured
Major Lazer project will all be spread across the three halls of the Parc Expo. However, Saturday night's proceedings belong firmly to the French nationals, with
Mr. Oizo,
Popof and
Danton Eeprom all serving up performances.
