In an unscientific poll conducted online on our website since Monday, it is the American rapper who receives the most votes to the question “which artist who has never been to the FEQ would you like to see on the plains of Abraham in 2023? “.
It is not a surprise. Since 2015, since the Journal’s web team has been surveying festival-goers’ preferences after each presentation of the event, Eminem has always come out on top.
Between the wishes of the festival-goers and the reality, however, there is a gulf. Even if the FEQ programmer, Louis Bellavance, reiterates his interest every year, Eminem is not the type to go on tour frequently and, if necessary, his dates and those of the festival still have to coincide.
However, it is not forbidden to dream.
Adele et Coldplay ?
Unsurprisingly, the other most requested headliners remain singer Adele and the group Coldplay.
System of a Down is also a Quebec favorite, as is new pop music sensation Billie Eilish.
Moreover, according to the survey of the Journal, it was the show of Maroon 5 which was the most popular of the FEQ 2022, followed by those of Rage Against The Machine and Luke Combs. At the Parc de la Francophonie, it was Sum 41 that won the favor of the public.
