Trans On Tour
Co-produced by the association Trans Musicales, the Trans on Tour offers for the ninth year in a row, the opportunity to local bands to perform in the venues of the Great West. Kick starting the festival, the main aim of this tour is to escort artists towards more professionalism. The high point of this tour is a performance at the Trans Musicales for each participating band. It is all about confronting the soon to be artists with a different relation with time, using a stream of events requiring total immersion in a professional framework. Being on tour means many concert dates, and in this case, ending with a performance at a festival visited by professionals: this project is a life size rehearsal. The Trans on Tour, conceived first as an artistic aide to the local scene, offers a wide range of tools to the bands: interviews at the beginning and the end of the tour, working time on the stage of the Ubu (local stage in Rennes), a regular follow-up by a specialised team, a promotional video and a dedicated stand at the festival's Village. During this tour with its twenty some bands - out of which eight on an accompaniment programme – each concert is completed by the performance of an artist recommended by the hosting venue.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
