En Mode Festi

En Mode Festi: Vichy-Bellerive's New Musical Event

Born in 2025 on the initiative of the association ONZE Bis, En Mode Festi immediately established itself as the unmissable summer music event in the Vichy urban area. This independent contemporary music festival takes place in the exceptional setting of the Théâtre de Verdure, a natural amphitheater nestled in the heart of the Vichy-Bellerive-sur-Allier Omnisports Center.

A Natural Setting for Contemporary Music

The Théâtre de Verdure offers a unique setting for an open-air festival: a vegetal amphitheater with natural tiered seating, bordered by century-old trees, which welcomes spectators in an intimate and warm atmosphere. Located a few minutes from Vichy city center, the site is easily accessible by car, public transport, and bicycle, with free parking nearby.

An Eclectic and Festive Program

The hallmark of En Mode Festi lies in its resolutely eclectic and festive program. Over three evenings, twelve groups and artists take turns on stage, offering a musical journey between rock, ska, French chanson, Celtic music, punk, and festive sounds from around the world.

The first edition in 2025 set the tone with a lineup featuring iconic names from the French alternative scene: Les Wampas, Les 3 Fromages, Yves Jamait, Soviet Suprem, The Locos (ex-Ska-P), Bob's Not Dead, Celkilt, Les Tit' Nassels, Cachemire, Picon mon Amour, The Weeders, and AMBRE. The second edition in 2026 confirms this ambition with No One is Innocent, Les Tambours du Bronx, Lofofora, HK, La Phaze, Didier Super, Goulamas'K, and Païaka on the bill.

A Friendly and Accessible Festival

En Mode Festi cultivates a spirit of conviviality typical of independent festivals. The gates open at 5 PM, allowing attendees to enjoy the site before the concerts begin at 6 PM. Food and drink stalls are available on-site, as well as hydration points. The festival is free for children under 12, making it a moment of intergenerational sharing.
