Saturday 3 October, 20:00

La Colonie de Vacances gathers members of Electric Electric, Marvin, Pneu and Papier Tigre into a sprawling, 18‑musician ensemble that deploys a quadriphonic sound system placing the audience at the heart of four stages. Rooted in noise-rock experimentation, the collective explores polyrhythms, trance-like grooves and uncanny harmonies, crafting enveloping sonic architectures that shift perspective and intensity. This farewell project channels improvisation and compositional rigor, inviting deep, multi-layered listening and a theatrical collapse of performer–audience boundaries.

Thursday 8 October, 20:00

Self-taught singer-songwriter and beatmaker Danyl began publishing live tracks on Twitch. Of Franco‑Algerian origin, he blends raï, US rap and French chanson to create a personal sound. His collaborations include Zamdane, Tuerie, DJ Kore, Oxmo Puccino, Stony Stone and Rim’K. On his first album ZMIG (2026) he reclaims a pejorative term to probe social determinism and the double stigma of his origins. The music resists categorization while pushing cultural boundaries.

9 – 10 October

Recluses Fest celebrates its fifth anniversary with two nights of high-energy punk and alternative hip-hop. The programme pairs UK punk veterans The Toy Dolls and French hard-hitters Svinkels with eclectic support acts Total Dézordre, Billy Ze Kick and Swiss outfits Les Blattes and Pistache Bitume. Expect raucous riffs, irreverent lyricism and a raw, communal atmosphere driven by tight musicianship and DIY spirit. Curated in coproduction with Recluses Fest, the bill spotlights cross-border scenes and uncompromising live intensity.

Sunday 11 October, 20:00

Pisse formed in Germany in 2012 and quickly established itself on the country’s punk scene. The band tackles heavy themes with a sharp, black humour, pairing synths, theremins, rapid tempos and an instantly recognisable voice. On stage their abrasive energy and unsettling melodies create cathartic, sardonic performances that shift between controlled chaos and a clear musical signature, delivering a provocative, darkly comic punk experience.

Friday 23 October, 21:00

Grammy Award–winning artist Kabaka Pyramid is a Rastafari lyricist who blends reggae, hip‑hop and dancehall to forge a distinctive sound that reshapes contemporary Jamaican music. A leading figure of the Reggae Revival, he gained prominence in the 2010s. His second album, The Kalling, produced by Damian Marley, confirmed his place among today’s top reggae artists. His socially conscious lyrics and commanding live presence create an intense, communal atmosphere.

Thursday 5 November, 20:00

La P’tite Fumée returns with an explosive live set that fuses psytrance energy and cyberpunk atmospheres. Their electro-acoustic palette blends didgeridoo with hypnotic guitar and flute lines over driving rhythms. New vocal elements join the band’s signature instrumental textures, adding sharp flows and communal hooks. The reworked live show emphasizes visceral dynamics, dense sound layers and raw intensity, offering a powerful, immersive concert experience that bridges tradition and modern electronic experimentation.
