Budget concerns loom large as the celebrated French music festival, Printemps de Bourges, gears up for its 50th anniversary. The event's director, Boris Vedel, reveals that the festival's budget for the latest edition soared to nearly eight million euros, marking a significant increase over the last decade. "It's hard to do with less, so it's up to us to find more," Vedel commented during a discussion on ICI Berry. The struggle to balance finances while maintaining affordable ticket prices is evident, yet Vedel remains optimistic, stating, "Yes, it's hard, but we fight and we succeed. The Printemps is still attractive enough for artists to want to play, which is reassuring."
