Aurillac en Scène: The Unmissable Musical Event in Cantal
Created in 2019 by SPL Aurillac Développement, the Aurillac en Scène festival has established itself in just a few editions as the major musical event in the Cantal department. Located in the Prisme parking lot, Place du 8 Mai 1945 in Aurillac, this open-air festival transforms the site each year into a true concert arena capable of hosting up to 4,000 spectators per evening.
An Eclectic and Unifying Program
The strength of Aurillac en Scène lies in its accessible and ambitious musical program, mixing pop, rock, French variety, soul, electro, and hip-hop. The festival relies on nationally and internationally renowned headliners to attract a broad, intergenerational audience. Since its creation, the festival has hosted major artists such as Zazie, BigFlo & Oli, Angèle, M (Matthieu Chedid), Shaka Ponk, Louise Attaque, Julien Doré, Pascal Obispo, Barbara Pravi, and Matt Pokora and Mika.
The program is designed to appeal to all generations: young and old, families and groups of friends gather for two evenings of concerts under the stars, in a festive and friendly atmosphere.
Cantal en Scène Showcases: A Launchpad for Local Talent
In partnership with the Cantal Departmental Council and its contemporary music network, the festival has set up the Cantal en Scène Showcases. This initiative offers two emerging Cantal artists the unique opportunity to benefit from an artistic residency before performing on the main stage as an opening act for the evening, in front of thousands of spectators. An initiative that reflects the festival's commitment to discovering and promoting local talent.
A Festive and Friendly Village
Beyond the concerts, Aurillac en Scène offers a true festive village with food trucks, bars, musical entertainment provided by a DJ between sets, a cashless system, an official shop, and dedicated reception services. The warm atmosphere and the human scale of the festival make it a popular event for both locals and visitors from across the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region and beyond.
Strong Local Roots
Organized by SPL Aurillac Développement, the management company for the Convention Center and the Prisme, the festival benefits from the support of local authorities and is part of a cultural and tourism development dynamic for the Aurillac area. After a successful first edition in 2019, interrupted by the health crisis, the festival returned strongly in 2023 and has continued to grow, establishing itself as a flagship event in the Cantal summer calendar.
