To be more precise, there were 250,001 visitors, director Daniel Rossellat said with a smile on Sunday, referring to a“premature and unexpected birth” at the festival campsite on Thursday night.

“We've been waiting for a birth for a long time,” he said, promising little Yago a lifetime subscription.

The same evening organisers experienced a scare when a festival-goer suffered fainted.“His life was in danger, but thanks to the quick intervention of the emergency services he was saved,” Rossellat said. The week was marked by no other major incidents.

“All the ingredients for a great year were there,” the delighted director and founder of the festival said. The weather played along, the audience was“enthusiastic and curious”, and the artists lived up to expectations,” he said.
