Baisers Iodés in Saint-Malo
Baisers Iodés, formerly known as Baisers Volés as a nod to the François Truffaut film, is an emerging music festival held in Saint-Malo, a corsair city in Ille-et-Vilaine. As the event takes place by the sea, the stolen kisses have taken on the taste of sea spray, hence the new name Baisers Iodés.
La Nouvelle Vague of Saint-Malo
The festival is organized by La Nouvelle Vague, an emblematic venue in the corsair city dedicated to contemporary music. The promise remains the same: emerging artists, pop artists, artists who represent the French-speaking scene of today and tomorrow, artists who renew our love for music with surprises.
Programming and preview
Each edition offers a rich program mixing pop, electro, and French chanson. The festival also offers a free preview in Cancale, at the Théâtre de verdure overlooking the bay and its oyster farms with a breathtaking view of Mont-Saint-Michel.
A seaside festival
Baisers Iodés benefits from an exceptional setting in Saint-Malo, offering festival-goers a unique experience combining musical discoveries and a maritime atmosphere. The festival captivates the audience from the first note on stage.
