A festival born from the passion of mountain musicians
The story of Festi'rock en Belledonne began in 2006, when a group of musicians from the Belledonne balcony decided to create a musical event worthy of their passion. The first edition took place on June 10, 2006, in the park of the town hall of Les Adrets, with the technical and logistical support of the municipality of Les Adrets and the 7 Laux resort. The founding idea was simple yet ambitious: to offer a free, open-air venue for musical encounters and discoveries in an exceptional natural setting.
An incomparable natural setting at the foot of the peaks
Nestled in the park of the town hall of Les Adrets, at an altitude of 1,000 meters on the Belledonne balcony, the festival benefits from a spectacular natural environment. Concerts are held facing the peaks of the Belledonne massif, offering festival-goers a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountains. This unique setting, between fir forests and alpine meadows, just thirty minutes from Grenoble, gives Festi'rock an intimate and warm atmosphere found nowhere else.
An eclectic and bold program
True to its spirit of openness, Festi'rock refuses to be confined to a single musical genre. While rock remains the common thread, the program emphasizes diversity: metal, reggae, world music, brass band, dub, and gypsy music share the stage in the town hall park. The association Belledonne Musique works with professional sound and lighting technicians to ensure exemplary listening conditions, worthy of a much larger festival. Friday evening is traditionally dedicated to more reggae and world sounds, while Saturday builds up with a children's concert in the early afternoon, followed by rock and metal to close the festival in style.
Free, friendly, and supportive
Total freeness has been a fundamental commitment of Festi'rock since its inception. Access to all concerts is free and without reservation. This freeness is made possible by the hard work of a team of volunteers who work year-round, the support of local authorities, and the revenue from the refreshment stand offering local beers and drinks. On-site catering is provided by the association École en Fête, with all profits donated to the school of Les Adrets: savory crepes, diots and vegetarian crozets, sweet crepes, and hot dogs with local sausages delight festival-goers throughout the weekend.
Twenty years of rock in Belledonne
In 2026, Festi'rock en Belledonne will celebrate its 20th anniversary, a testament to the vitality and longevity of this event, which has become a must-attend in the Isère festival scene. From a few hundred spectators at the first edition, the festival now attracts a loyal audience from all over the Grésivaudan region and beyond, united by a love for live music and the mountains. Festi'rock embodies a human-scale festival model, rooted in its territory, driven by values of sharing, accessibility, and artistic quality.
