The Tribes Festival & Playlist Contest: Solidarity for Music Lovers
It’s almost that time of year again, when everyone who does anything with music is putting the final preparations on their parties, concerts, and festivals happening in Paris for the Fête de la Musique on June 21st. For electronic music lovers, one of the top destinations for emerging music is The Tribes Festival: two days of music bliss on an island in the Seine 10 minutes from the Eiffel Tower.
But, alas, the forces that be have thrown a wrench in their gears, grinding the festival to a halt. In this case, the forces that be are the residents of the small island where the festival was to take place. They are opposed to the use of their space for music festivals, and they’ve already succeeded in blocking other similar events. The Tribes Festival may still take place, but with short timing and limited options, there is a risk that it wont be able to see the light of day.
Bad news for everyone involved, the organizers who worked hard to create an incredible line up of talented, emerging artists; the emerging artists themselves looking forward to a major event in front of a passionate audience; and of course, the passionate audience, looking forward to celebrating la Fête de la Musique in the best possible way.
Whyd is a partner of The Tribes, and in solidarity to them and to great music, we are proud to announce the playlist contest starting today and ending on June 16th to honor the artists and the festival.
The rules are simple: create a playlist with 7 tracks coming from artists who are playing at The Tribes. Then, share. The most shared playlists via Twitter and Facebook will become the finalists, and then a winner will be crowned by the organizers. The winning playlist will be featured across our networks and the winner will receive a bottle of champagne to toast the phantom Tribes Festival.
Here is a list of the innovative artists who were scheduled to play at The Tribes this year:
Your playlist can be as long as you want, so feel free to discovery each of these artists, (if you have the time!) but be sure to have at least 7 tracks.

Plus, we want to help you share your playlists, so tweet us @whyd with your playlist URL. If the festival does indeed take place, the winner will get two tickets to the festival. If it doesn’t take place, at least we got to discover some amazing new music.
Never stop jamming!
