Festival ElectroChic

The birthplace of the French Touch celebrates

The Festival ElectroChic draws its identity from a unique territory: western Paris, the birthplace of the French Touch. It was in Versailles and its surroundings that Air, Phoenix, and a whole generation of electronic musicians forged a sound that conquered the world in the 1990s. ElectroChic pays homage to this heritage while exploring the new frontiers of electronic music, from organic house to experimental techno, from contemplative ambient to audiovisual performances.

A territorial festival across nine communes

One of ElectroChic's unique features is its territorial anchoring. The festival unfolds across nine communes of the Versailles Grand Parc agglomeration community: Versailles, Vélizy-Villacoublay, Bailly, Bois-d'Arcy, Chaville, Fontenay-le-Fleury, Jouy-en-Josas, Saint-Cyr-l'École, and Viroflay. Performance halls, media libraries, cultural centers, and unusual venues host a rich and varied program, creating a unique cultural network that irrigates the entire territory.

Concerts, DJ sets, and musical encounters

For two weeks, ElectroChic offers a dense program combining concerts by international artists and emerging talents, DJ sets in intimate or festive settings, cine-concerts blending cinema and live electronic music, sound creation workshops, and conferences on the history and future of electronic music. The festival is aimed at both enthusiasts and the curious, with offerings accessible to all audiences, including young audiences thanks to collaborations with the Baz'arts des Mômes festival.

L'Onde and Versailles, driving forces behind the project

The Festival ElectroChic is supported by L'Onde, Theatre and Art Center of Vélizy-Villacoublay, in partnership with the city of Versailles and the Versailles Grand Parc agglomeration community. This collaboration between cultural institutions and local authorities allows the festival to offer an ambitious program while maintaining accessible prices. L'Onde, a recognized conventioned stage for its commitment to contemporary creation, brings its artistic expertise and production capacity.
