Party at the heart of the third-place
BLIIIDA Festival is the musical highlight of the BLIIIDA third-place, located in the former bus depot of the Metz agglomeration. Across nearly 30,000 m², this unique venue brings together over 80 resident structures from the cultural and creative industries, digital sector, social and solidarity economy, and technology. The festival is the festive and musical expression of this creative energy.
Two electric evenings
A danceable program
Each edition of BLIIIDA Festival brings together about twenty artists, bands, and DJs over two evenings of concerts. The program is resolutely danceable and electric, mixing electro, rock, hip-hop, pop, and world music in a spirit of celebration and discovery. The festival embraces an artistic direction that favors energy, groove, and conviviality.
Local talents and established artists
One of the strengths of BLIIIDA Festival lies in its ability to bring together local talents from the Grand Est region with nationally renowned artists. BLIIIDA residents, musicians, and sound creators, share the stage with headliners, creating bridges between the emerging scene and established artists.
A revisited industrial setting
The festival takes advantage of BLIIIDA's industrial setting to create a unique atmosphere. The hangars, courtyards, and outdoor spaces of the former bus depot are transformed into stages, dance floors, and convivial areas. The industrial architecture, with its metal structures and generous volumes, gives the concerts a spectacular dimension and a unique acoustics.
More than a music festival
BLIIIDA Festival is part of the third-place's annual program, which organizes cultural events, exhibitions, conferences, and meetings throughout the year. The festival is held alongside other signature BLIIIDA events like Makerland, a free festival dedicated to making and creativity. This rich programming makes BLIIIDA a major cultural player in the city of Metz.
A place for living and creation
Beyond the festival, BLIIIDA offers coworking spaces, offices for start-ups, fabrication workshops (makerspace MIDO), creation studios, and meeting rooms. The festival is an opportunity for the general public to discover this vibrant place and meet the players of the Metz creative ecosystem in a festive atmosphere.
