ArbraZik Festival

First Edition: ArbraZik Takes Root in Montbrison

After an aborted attempt in 2024 due to weather, the ArbraZik Festival finally came to life on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at the Parc des Thermes in Moingt. Organized by the Montbrison-Moingt Festival Committee, this first edition lived up to its promises by bringing together an enthusiastic audience under the park's foliage, at the foot of the famous giant sequoia.

Four bands from the regional rock and indie scene performed on stage starting at 6 PM. Les Naufragés opened the festivities, followed by Novatom, a band from Saint-Étienne with powerful and melodic rock. 21 Grammes brought their indie and intimate touch, before Salut l'Orage closed the evening in a festive and lively atmosphere.

Food trucks set up in the park allowed festival-goers to eat throughout the evening, contributing to the friendly and relaxed atmosphere of this open-air event. The success of this first edition immediately led the organizers to announce a second season for 2026.
