Leslie David's terrific posters for hypercool French music festival

Date

If you happen to be in north-west Corsica come Saturday then you’re in for a treat with the 12th annual Calvi On The Rocks music festival. My limited French and the beautifully baffling shortcomings of Google’s translation tools (“DJs take you in hand, scholars selectors make you smarter tan”) means I can’t give you too much detailed information, but a glance down the line-up and the fact that the irrepressibly brilliant Leslie David has created these posters for the event should be enough to convince you that it’s something worth knowing about. Leslie’s big, bold colour daubs offset the retro black and white pictures of the town with typical skill and evoke the spirit and energy about to be unleashed on this pretty coastal idyll.
