The return of Aux Zarbs etc... to Parc de l'Arbre Sec

After more than a decade of absence, the Aux Zarbs etc... festival returns to Auxerre for a rebirth edition eagerly awaited by festival regulars and contemporary music lovers in the Yonne region. From July 18 to 20, 2025, the Parc de l'Arbre Sec revives its glorious past by hosting three days of concerts, shows, and activities in the spirit of the original festival: accessibility, eclecticism, and conviviality.

The 2025 program continues the tradition of the historic editions, with musical diversity that crosses genre boundaries. Reggae, alternative rock, committed French chanson, electronic music, and world music follow each other on the main stage of Parc de l'Arbre Sec, surrounded by the catalpa trees and large trees that have always sheltered festival-goers. The animation village, dear to the festival's identity, comes back to life with cultural and social associations from the Yonne, stands of local producers, and street performances throughout the day.

This first rebirth edition lives up to all expectations with enthusiastic attendance, a warm atmosphere, and memorable concerts that confirm that Auxerre and its audience had not forgotten Aux Zarbs. The gamble of the return is successful, laying the foundation for a new era for this festival that is part of Burgundy's musical history.
