Festival 24 Carats
The first festival dedicated to hip-hop culture in Dordogne
About 24 Carats
Hip-hop arrives in Dordogne
The Festival 24 Carats was born in 2023 from the initiative of Le Rocksane, Bergerac's contemporary music venue, to create a unifying event around hip-hop culture in Dordogne. As the department's first festival dedicated to this artistic movement, 24 Carats unfolds over several evenings in March, combining rap concerts, battles, workshops, and artist meet-and-greets.
A program balancing local talent and national headliners
The festival's program showcases the current rap scene, offering a platform for local and regional artists while also welcoming nationally recognized names. The various disciplines that make up hip-hop culture — rap, beatbox, dance, graffiti, DJing — are represented throughout the evenings, providing a complete immersion into this artistic universe.
Le Rocksane, the festival's home
The festival takes place at Le Rocksane, a contemporary music venue located at 14 bis rue du Professeur Pozzi in Bergerac. Established in 2003, this space for performance, training, and creation features a 500-seat concert hall, a friendly bar, and rehearsal studios. Le Rocksane has been a key player in Bergerac's music scene for over twenty years, supporting contemporary music in Périgord.
A growing festival
After a successful first edition in 2023, the Festival 24 Carats returned in 2025 with a second edition focused on Bergerac, offering four evenings at Le Rocksane and one evening at V and B. The festival aims to bring together artists and audiences around the various disciplines that make up hip-hop culture, in a spirit of sharing and discovery.
24 Carats — edition 2026
The 3rd edition of the 24 Carats Festival, the first event in Dordogne dedicated to hip-hop culture, was held from March 13 to 21, 2026, at Rocksane in Bergerac. Programmed by Bergerac's contemporary music venue, this edition offered rap concerts, an open mic, a breakdance battle, and a new youth support initiative, the “Collectif 24 Carats”.
