Elektricity

Pioneers of Electro in Reims

Created in 2003, Elektricity was born from the desire to offer an innovative urban festival dedicated to electronic music in Reims. Driven by La Cartonnerie, a contemporary music venue, and Césaré, a center for contemporary music creation, the festival has established itself as a major event on the electronic scene in France. Its programming, resolutely focused on research and discovery, explores all facets of electronic creation: techno, house, ambient, experimental, IDM, and audiovisual performances.

The City as a Playground

Elektricity is distinguished by its urban anchoring, taking over several emblematic venues in Reims to create a unique immersive experience. La Cartonnerie hosts clubbing nights and concerts, while the Parvis of Notre-Dame Cathedral transforms into a giant dance floor for open-air electro evenings. The Saint-Exupéry Cultural Center, the Palais du Tau, and Le Manège complete the festival map, offering varied settings for exceptional artistic performances.

Internationally Renowned Artists

Over the years, Elektricity has hosted internationally renowned artists: Nicolas Jaar, Woodkid, Sébastien Tellier, Gesaffelstein, Cassius, Tale Of Us, Boris Brejcha, Madeon, SebastiAn, Hudson Mohawke, and many others. The festival also makes it a point of honor to program emerging artists and original creations, contributing to the constant renewal of the electronic scene.

A Constantly Evolving Festival

Elektricity has continuously evolved since its creation, expanding its programming and formats to adapt to the changes in the electronic scene. The festival now offers audiovisual performances, sound installations, conferences, and workshops, in addition to concerts and clubbing nights. This multidisciplinary approach makes Elektricity more than just a music festival: it is a laboratory of artistic creation in the heart of Reims.
