All fairytales come to an end..

Hello PanoPeople!!

Summer is passing by so quickly, another season is starting soon.. it’s time for an official announcement.

After more than 5 years and 50 nights, Panoplie has decided to call it quits: Panoplie Italian Nights V will remain/stay as the closing event of this adventure.

This post to explain you the decision in the most transparent way, as usual.

Believe me, it has not been an easy decision, but there was no way to go on.

First of all because, as you know, this is not a job, but a pure passion: this means, amongst others, that resources are limited, not only in terms of money, but also of time, energy..

But the most important reason is another: when Panoplie has been created, Luxembourg had just a couple of concert venues, and not so many gigs around: people was demanding live music a lot. 

Nowadays, the offer of live music has exploded, in the Grand-Duchy: lots of venues, tons of concerts.. quite often even too many!

I’m obviously happy of this development, but it’s clear that it doesn’t leave much space to a no-profit association and its small events.

Time to say goodbye, then, and time to say thank you.

First of all, thank you Robert and Muriel, for creating Panoplie, and thank you “Panoplie Team”, all the other friends who helped out through the years..

Second, big thanks to all the artists, for their art, their hard work, their long journeys..

And also thanks to their teams of booking, tour managers, sound techs..

More big thanks to the venues which hosted our events, and their staff: Fred, Manu, Serginho, Marc..

Last but not least, thank you, PanoPeople: special events need a special public..

Take care & keep cool
