Disjoncté — Music Festival Without Electricity

ℹ️ Festival discontinued. Le Disjoncté ended after its 6th edition on September 14, 2024, which was presented as the «6th and final edition» by its organizers. The association Grive la Braillarde, which ran the festival, announced its retirement after nearly ten years of activity. No editions are planned for 2025 or 2026.

A Unique Concept: 0 Electricity, 100% Acoustic

Le Disjoncté was a new kind of music festival. Organized from 2018 to 2024 on the shores of Lac du Coiroux in Aubazines, Corrèze, it was based on a radical concept: no electricity was used, neither for instruments, nor for lighting, nor even for drinks.

As night fell, the site was illuminated by hundreds of fires and thousands of candles, under a starry celestial vault. In this magical and intimate atmosphere, dozens of artists performed acoustically on multiple stages, offering hours of non-stop concerts.

An Eclectic and Secret Program

Le Disjoncté's program was deliberately kept secret until D-day. This approach created an atmosphere of discovery and and surprise. The musical genres were varied: folk, French chanson, acoustic rock, world music, gypsy jazz... The essential thing was that everything was played acoustically, without electrical amplification.

Spectators wandered freely between the stages, choosing their concerts according to their desires and encounters. Some stages were set up by the water, others in the woods, creating unique atmospheres.

Ecology and Conviviality

Le Disjoncté was not only a music festival, but also a strong ecological initiative. The absence of electricity drastically reduced the event's carbon footprint. Drinks were served cold with ice (no electric refrigerators), and a mobile pizza oven provided catering.

Admission was free, in a spirit of sharing and accessibility. The profits from the refreshment stand and catering financed the festival and supported the organizing association's projects.

The End of an Adventure

Le Disjoncté mobilized dozens of volunteers for stage setup, candle lighting, public reception, and logistics. It was above all a collective adventure driven by music, nature, and alternative event enthusiasts. After 6 exceptional editions, the Grive la Braillarde association made the 2024 edition the last, making Le Disjoncté a cult and much-missed festival on the Corrèze music scene.
