We are disappointed Tommy Vaudecrane, president of Technopol, doesn't hide his disappointment to AFP, but remains sportsmanlike. "We are disappointed, but we understand this exceptional situation," he says. This situation is the one of the JOP unfolding in Paris this summer, which has complicated the production of this symbolic event for electronic music lovers. "The float assembly site, Reuilly grassy area, is occupied until the end of November by a military camp required for the Olympic Games. No other site was available and no other date was possible," he specified. Regulars are therefore invited to wait one more year to find again the sacred Techno Parade and, thus, "make electronic music resonate in. With all of Paris".L'édition 2024 de la @TechnoParade, vitrine des musiques électroniques à Paris chaque année en septembre depuis 1998, annulée en raison des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques #AFP @Technopol #TechnoParade #Electro @AFPphoto pic.twitter.com/nAu1MZ9I6e

la raison ? Le terrain sur lequel sont montés les chars a été réquisitionné par l'armée pour les JO.

Third cancellation in 25 years of existence
Last year, around 400,000 people danced to the techno beats on the streets of Paris to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the parade. Started in 1998, only two editions of the Techno Parade have been called off: in 2001, after the attacks on the World Trade Center, and in 2021 due to Covid. Let's hope that the 2024 edition will be the last cancellation for a long time.
La techno parade annulée à cause des JO 2024 alors que je l’attends avec impatience chaque année. Je suis dégoûtée :(
