The 12th edition of the Cooksound Festival took over the Couvent des Cordeliers from July 20 to 22, 2023. This year, the program was resolutely focused on swing and electro swing, with a dancing and festive atmosphere.

The audience enjoyed performances by Scratchophone Orchestra, Holy Bounce Orchestra, The Yellbows, The Shoeshiners Band, and the legendary New Orleans jazz and blues singer Meschiya Lake. Swing dance initiations were offered by The Swing Call Spirit, and the evenings continued with DJ sets by Minimatic, K.D.S, and Walkabout Sound System.
