Maybe - but I also get the impression that the concert is there to draw young people in from the local area and so it is based on bands that are popular to the young French crowd.

As is clear from this thread international visitors are there for the race and will only attend the concert is it is of interest - it has no effect on the money that they spend whereas it could cause locals to buy tickets and spend money when they otherwise may stay at home
