Festi'Lubi

Festi'Lubi: two days of contemporary music in the heart of Champigny-sur-Marne

Festi'Lubi is the flagship festival of the association LUBI — Musiques Actuelles, founded in Champigny-sur-Marne (94500) to support and promote contemporary musicians in all their stylistic diversity. Rooted in the associative and cultural fabric of the town, the festival is held every spring at the Centre Jean Vilar (52 rue Pierre Marie Derrien, 94500 Champigny-sur-Marne), a multi-purpose venue that transforms into a true temple of contemporary music for the duration of the festival.

LUBI: an association serving today's musicians

The association LUBI — Musiques Actuelles was founded with a simple and strong conviction: contemporary musicians, whether amateur or semi-professional, deserve a space to perform in front of an audience, develop their artistic project, and be part of a collective dynamic. Since its creation, LUBI has organized concerts and musical evenings throughout the year in Champigny-sur-Marne, maintaining a lively connection with the local and regional music scene.

Festi'Lubi is the annual highlight. For two days, it brings together bands with diverse aesthetics on the same stage — rock, pop, soul, funk, electro, indie — in a festival spirit that combines musical discovery and collective celebration. The programming intentionally mixes local bands from Champigny-sur-Marne and artists from all over the Île-de-France region, creating contrasting and energetic evenings.

An eclectic and demanding lineup

Each edition of Festi'Lubi builds an eclectic lineup that reflects the richness of current music scenes. The 2022 edition, held on April 1st and 2nd at the Centre Jean Vilar, brought together a remarkable selection: Von Pariahs (alternative rock), Julien Bitoun & The Angels (soul rock), La Cafetera Roja (Latin pop), Toybloïd (indie pop), Nico Chona and The Freshtones (blues funk), and Gurl (electronic pop). This stylistic diversity, reflecting LUBI's eclectic musical programming, is the festival's trademark.

In 2023, LUBI also organized a festival to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the association, marking a decade of support for contemporary music in Champigny-sur-Marne. This anniversary confirmed the central place the association holds in the musical life of the area.
