Speaking about the 2024 edition, Family Piknik director and founder Tom Pooks mentioned,
“We are very excited to be back in Frontignan for the third year in a row. We now perfectly know this open-air venue and we have worked hard to get the best out of it, as we’re going to add one more stage and double our camping zone next to the festival area. With more than 50 international artists involved, this 2024 edition will resonate even louder as we will be one of the rare summer music festivals to take place during the Olympic games.”
