About the equal lineup the festival says:

Why do an equality line up now? Because we should have done it ages ago. Because, looking back over our previous line ups and despite the progress in the last few editions, we needed to go further. If half of our audience is female, why shouldn’t half of our line up be so too? Why can’t there be equality in schedules, styles and stages? It has not been easy to fight against the inertia that has been passed down for so many years, but after all, if the future is female, what’s the point in waiting? We are starting here, accelerating change to build a line up that shouldn’t be the exception, which we want to make the norm. But let’s not forget that this is only a line up and only a festival, what matters is everything else.
