ArcomiK

22nd Edition — February 13 to March 9, 2025

The ArcomiK festival celebrated its 22nd edition from February 13 to March 9, 2025, offering 26 shows spread across seven towns in the Loire region: Saint-Étienne, Le Chambon-Feugerolles, Firminy, Rive-de-Gier, Saint-Paul-en-Jarez, and other towns in the Saint-Étienne metropolis.

An Intergenerational Program

True to its philosophy, the festival offered a program oscillating between established artists and emerging talents. Headliners took over the largest venues in the metropolis, while young comedians showcased their skills in more intimate settings. The "Ma Région a de l'humour" platform highlighted the rising stars of regional humor.

The Murder Gala — France TV

The festival extended to March 14, 2025, with an exceptional event: the "Murder Gala", an evening filmed for Culture Box (France TV) at La Forge in Le Chambon-Feugerolles. Hosted by Élodie Arnould, this event brought together LEJ, Jean-Luc Lemoine, Swann Périssé, Umut Koker, and Briac for a show broadcast nationally.

Key Figures

With a budget of €380,000, 60% of which came from its own resources and the return of funding from Saint-Étienne Métropole, this edition confirmed the festival's strong roots and vitality. Over 7,000 tickets were sold, with some dates selling out as soon as ticketing opened.
