Catalpa resurrected after a break in 2024
After a year's absence in 2024, made necessary by rising costs and the constraints of the Olympic calendar, the Catalpa Festival returns in force on June 27 and 28, 2025 at Parc de l'Arbre Sec in Auxerre. This 12th edition, condensed into two evenings instead of the usual three, lives up to all expectations with a diverse lineup and impressive attendance of around 20,000 spectators per evening.
Friday, June 27 — Rap, Funk, Electro
The opening evening sets the tone with Isha & Limsa d'Aulnay in the opening rap act, followed by 47Ter, one of the most active rap groups on the French scene. Headlining, FFF (Fonck) brings together Marco Prince, Nicolas Baby, Yarol Poupaud, and Krichou Monthieux for an electric funk-rock concert. The evening concludes with a DJ set by Mosimann, ranked among the top five French DJs and a figure of the electronic French Touch.
Saturday, June 28 — Pop, Rock, Metal, Electro
The second evening opens with Broken Back and its melancholic electro-pop soundscapes, before giving way to The Inspector Cluzo, a blues-rock duo from Gers recognized internationally for their powerful performances. Mass Hysteria, a pillar of French metal since the 1990s, delivers a memorable headlining act, and Feder closes the festivities with a highly anticipated festive electro DJ set.
