Loving, grateful and thirsty

If Post Malone was the artist model, Post Malone was as kind to the man as he was grateful. Between each song, he took time to thank the crowd (and down a beer), a broad smile lighting up his face.

He also showed a good sense of self-esteem. “Ladies and gentlemen, who’s drunk tonight? I’m going to play the guitar because you better be good,” he joked before singing I have to go.

Then, for clarification stay, he invited a man named Felix to join him on stage to play guitar. Living the moment to the fullest, the young man acquitted himself admirably of a task that, given the size of the crowd, was no easy task.

“My name is Jesse Murph and you’re the biggest crowd I’ve ever sung to.”

American artist Jesse Murph doesn’t think so. It was when she was singing about victory Pray The summer festival announced the site’s closure.

This allowed more audiences to discover this singer with a beautiful husky voice whose songs basically deal with breakups, heartbreaks and bad love lives.

In short, the combination of Amy Winehouse and Jessie Reyes, with their magnetic stage presence, is the Queen of Broken Hearts.

In addition, it does not lack air. “Who’s here to see Post Malone?” she asked the audience, and immediately the next song was called Son of a PeachShe performed with a baseball bat in her hands.

We’re not messing with Jesse, that’s all!

Members of the Canadian group The Fence had to pinch themselves when they took the stage at 7 p.m.

At their feet, a human wave. The audience is not for them, but it should raise the heart rate a bit.

The Valley’s most festive pop-rock fits well with the musical atmosphere of an evening dominated by Post Malone and crew. Singer Rob Laska, a happy guy who likes to finish his songs lying on the floor, managed to move people to the floor a few times, which is not well known in our place.

Like the loud luxury at Électro FEQ, they also gave us the Nordiques sweater shot, which is becoming more and more of a cliché.
