At the end of 2021, festival founder Jean-Francois Ponthieux launched a new musical project. Yé-Yé 2.0 sees Australia’s finest female-identifying artists interpreting the songs of the Yé-Yé — a musical movement that emerged in France in the 1960s, drawing from British and American rock, French chanson, and a host of other influences to create a fresh and distinctively French sound.
