Festi'Zac: The Energy of Current Music in the Heart of Limousin

Since its creation, Festi'Zac has established itself as a major event on the music scene in Haute-Vienne. Every September, the Domaine du Muret in Ambazac, on the outskirts of Limoges, hosts two days of intense concerts mixing reggae, ska-punk, electro, world music, and many other sounds.

A Unique Venue for an Extraordinary Festival

The Domaine du Muret offers an ideal setting for an outdoor festival: a large indoor covered stage with a capacity of 2,300 people and a free 4,000 m² village accessible to everyone. This associative village features a craft market, face painting workshops, vintage arcade games, fire-breather shows, artistic performances, and a chill-out area with DJ sets.

An Eclectic and Ambitious Program

Festi'Zac stands out with its rich and diverse program that blends national headliners and emerging artists from Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The 2025 edition notably featured the legendary Nèg' Marrons, icons of French reggae dancehall, The Locos (ex-Ska-P) for an explosive ska-punk show, Yaniss Odua, a major figure in French reggae, Billx, a reference in hardtek, Tambour Battant, an innovative bass music duo, and Sidi Wacho with their fusion of cumbia, rap, and oriental influences.

A Launchpad for Regional Talents

True to its commitment to the local scene, the festival organizes an annual music competition dedicated to emerging bands from Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Indre, and Allier. The winners perform on the main stage under professional conditions, benefiting from valuable media exposure. Former winners like Do Not Do, Okali, or Ben & Mylène are now recognized regionally.

An Associative and Committed Festival

Entirely run by a team of 160 volunteers, Festi'Zac embodies the values of the associative world: friendliness, accessibility, and sharing. The festival offers free camping, activities for children (free entry for under 12s), local food, and deliberately affordable prices. Under its motto "Let's live the emotion, let's share the passion!", Festi'Zac brings together up to 4,500 festival-goers each year in a warm and family-friendly atmosphere.
