The 20th anniversary of the Black & Blue Festival will take place from October 6 to 12 and will be one of the biggest events this year! The world renowned Black & Blue will be attended by thousands of participants on 10/10/10 at Palais des congrès de Montréal! Two rooms will feature a choice of music (house and trance), this year, to please a wider and diversified local and international clientele.
The Founding President, Robert Vézina mentions that “this year’s Black & Blue will feature new elements, but will also look back on its twenty years of existence”. He also announces that this year’s main event will include a « concert » component at the beginning of the night. Widely recognized for its original artistic concepts, this year’s Black & Blue Festival will showcase a concept developed in collaboration with lighting design expert François Roupinian of Lightemotion. As lighting is one of the key components of the event, BBCM continues to explore this facet with a view to ensuring use of the very latest in lighting technology. Back once again for 2010 are technical director Sylvain Tessier and sound expert Éric Tourangeau who has brilliantly orchestrated all sound-related aspects of nearly every Black & Blue event from the outset. The main Black & Blue evening event will include a block-buster show segment, as well as theme-based entertainment.
Here is an insight on what the participants can expect at this year’s event:
- A first part “live concert” at the main event with a variety of Artists that marked the 20 years of the BBCM Foundation.
- A retrospective of the prior Black & Blue editions
- A house music room with DJ Mark Anthony and other internationally renowned DJ’s; featuring shows by Jessy Gauthier, Patrick Guay and the BBCM dancers
- A trance music room with the DJs Aly & Fila, Simon Patterson, Gareth Emery, Carl Muren, live acts Emma Hewitt
- Special entertainment during the evening
- State-of-the-art projections and lights
- VIP sections
- And more !
The Foundation, a non-profit organization involved in organizing events since 1991, takes one particular cause to heart, namely aiding individuals living with HIV /AIDS, an aspect that will not be neglected during the event.
This year’s official Festival program lineup will run from October 6th to 12th and will include the ever popular Leather Ball (Friday, October 8th), Military Ball (Saturday, October 9th) and Recovery Party (Monday, October 11th), in addition to a host of other activities in Village area clubs.
