Rock'in 24 Festival

A unique collaborative rock concept in Dordogne

The Rock'in 24 Festival was born in 2022 from a group of passionate musicians who came together around their common love for rock. The founding idea: to bring dozens of musicians of all levels together on the same stage to perform the great rock standards of the 1970s to 1990s together. This participatory and unifying concept immediately won over the public, with over 800 spectators from the very first edition in August 2023.

The Ménesplet stadium, an open-air rock setting

The festival takes place every summer at the Ménesplet municipal stadium, a rural commune in the Isle Valley in Dordogne. This sports facility transforms for one day into a true open-air rock arena, with a professional stage, a catering area offering grills and local specialties, a bar, and 70s vintage merchandising stalls. Additional entertainment—jugglers, acrobats—enhances the festive experience.

A prestigious godmother

Claire Balavoine, sister of the legendary Daniel Balavoine, immediately embraced the project and has supported the festival since its inception. Her presence brings a strong emotional dimension to the event; she participates in the festivities and offers signing sessions. This patronage anchors Rock'in 24 in the heritage of French rock while celebrating live music and sharing.

A growing festival

In three editions, the Rock'in 24 Festival has built a loyal and growing audience. From 50 musicians on stage at the first edition, the event brought together up to 70 artists for the third edition in 2025. The entrance fee remains deliberately affordable (5 euros, free for under 15s), in a spirit of sharing and democratization of rock music in rural areas.
