A festival for emerging artists

Born from the desire to boost a region often overlooked, the Poing Carré Festival has established itself as an unmissable summer event for fans of contemporary music in Meuse. The Poing Carré association, based in Sampigny, carries this project with the conviction that music should reach people wherever they can hear it, close to the inhabitants.

An eclectic and bold program

The festival offers a program resolutely focused on discovery and emergence. Rock, electro, hip-hop, indie, alternative music: genres cross and blend on stage to offer the audience a rich and varied musical experience. Among the artists who have graced the Poing Carré stage are names like Nuwanda, Cleaver, Le Grand Bleu, Taxi Kebab, and Benou, reflecting the diversity of the regional music scene.

Sampigny, a rural setting

The festival takes place in the commune of Sampigny, a small town in Meuse nestled in the Meuse valley. This rural and green setting gives the event an intimate and warm atmosphere, far from large urban festivals. Spectators enjoy a preserved natural environment to experience privileged musical moments.

Commitment to the territory

Beyond the musical program, the Poing Carré Festival is part of a movement to promote the Meuse region. The association works with local stakeholders to highlight the region's riches and create social connections through culture. The festival is also a springboard for local artists who find a stage and a supportive audience there.

A friendly and accessible atmosphere

The Poing Carré Festival focuses on friendliness and accessibility. A bar, on-site catering, and entertainment complement the musical program to offer a complete festive experience. The festival welcomes an audience of all ages in a spirit of sharing and musical discovery.

The Poing Carré Festival returns to Sampigny for a new edition highlighting emerging music and artists from the Grand Est region.
