Festival de Domaize: Contemporary Music in the Heart of Rural Auvergne

Since 2003, the Festival de Domaize has established itself as one of the most important festivals in the Auvergne region, thanks to an original program always seeking the latest musical trends. Organized by the association Do Mais En Corps, this contemporary music festival aims to develop cultural and musical offerings in rural areas, in the small commune of Domaize, in the heart of Puy-de-Dôme.

A Unique Format

The Festival de Domaize stands out with its two-part format:

• Free thematic day: animations, musical discoveries, and cultural activities with free access for all audiences
• Outdoor concert evening: paid programming featuring established artists and discoveries from the contemporary scene

An Avant-Garde Program

The festival is recognized throughout France for its ability to discover tomorrow's artists. Among the artists who have graced the Domaize stage before becoming national references are:

• Hocus Pocus — hip-hop jazz
• Chinese Man — trip-hop and electro
• Wax Tailor — cinematic hip-hop
• Shaka Ponk — electro-rock
• DJ Shadow — instrumental hip-hop
• Assassin — French rap

Strong Territorial Roots

The Festival de Domaize embodies the desire to bring culture to rural areas. The commune of Domaize, a small locality in Puy-de-Dôme, transforms for a weekend into a major musical meeting place, attracting festival-goers from all over the region and beyond. After about ten editions, the festival has become one of the most recognized musical events in Auvergne, proving that artistic quality does not need proximity to big cities to flourish.

After a year's break, the festival returned in 2025 for its 11th edition, confirming the vitality of this cultural project supported by a committed association and a welcoming territory.
