Mona Rosa Street Music – Festival premiere
A voice that catches your ear on street corners and terraces, like a surprise. Mona Rosa breathes new life into the songs of yesteryear. Her instrument from another era sets the tone, blending nostalgia with freshness. As much an actress as a singer, she interacts with the audience. There’s singing, dancing and sharing without barriers. A moment suspended in time, simple and vibrant.
Mona Rosa turns the street into a stage… and it’s a real treat.
11.30 am roaming around the squares
6.45 pm and 8.45 pm in Schappe Park
Miss Trash — Fanfare?!
A brass band that defies categorisation. A warm, raw sound that bursts onto the scene without warning.
Between glitter and grease, it sparkles and it packs a punch. Wild choreography, energy spilling onto the tarmac. Unconventional instruments and a joyful, controlled chaos. Between bursts of laughter and moments suspended in time.
Miss Trash is a party… the explosive version.
2.30 pm – Place d'Arme
5 pm – Place du Prorel, in front of La Chaumière
Hoopelaï — Hula Hoop Show
A shy entrance… but don’t be fooled by appearances. The Grande Dame hides an explosive show beneath her demure exterior. With her hoops, she shifts from restraint to pure performance.
Blending humour, poetry and charm, she draws the audience in. Every trick is a hit, every movement captivates. A lively, interactive show where anything can happen.
Hoopelaï breathes new life into the hoop… and puts on a show.
Concerts at Parc de la Schappe
6.30 pm: Doors open
7.30 pm: Labess – World Gipsy-chaâbi
Over 20 years of free, borderless music. Labess blends cultures as effortlessly as others light a fire. Rumba, flamenco, chaâbi… a fiery journey across continents. An identity forged on the road, between exile and freedom. Songs that tell stories, that bring people together, that make you feel alive. A solar energy fuelled by the magic of live performance.
Labess is a cry from the heart… and it resonates far and wide.
9.10 pm: Têtes Raides – Rock and poetic songs Têtes Raides
A cult band that has been making its mark since the 1980s. Blending rock, poetry and punk spirit, they have forged a unique style. Polished lyrics, carried by the rough voice of Christian Olivier.
Accordion, brass, guitars: a timeless alchemy of sound.
On stage, it’s intense, passionate and deeply human. Blending celebration and emotion, they strike straight at the heart.
Têtes Raides is living poetry… the rock version.
11.00 pm: Cachemire – French Rock
10 years of hard-hitting riffs and biting lyrics. Cachemire is raw, edgy rock, with no detours or compromises. With a blend of punk energy and metal influences, they strike where it really resonates.
Their sound has matured, yet retains that raw intensity that electrifies everything. Short, effective tracks, tailor-made for the stage and chaos. A raspy voice, powerful backing vocals, and truths thrown straight in your face.
Cachemire is rock wrapped in velvet… but it really rocks.
