description The “Nuit de la Nation” was a huge rock’n’roll concert organised on June 22nd 1963 by Radio Station Europe N°1 and teen magazine “Salut les Copains” on the place de la Nation in Paris. The line-up included most French rock’n’roll “idols” of the time. The free concert, which attracted about 150.000 people, was the theatre of many incidents and acts of violence attributed to the “blousons noirs”, an expression that designated young offenders, generally fans of rock’n’roll. A heavily marketed and publicized event, the concert, which, as this article will show, was badly organised, revealed to the general public the emergence of a specific youth culture but also reinforced the idea that rock’n’roll and juvenile delinquency were closely related.
