Festival Tribute Nights
Festival of tributes to French and international rock legends
About Tribute Nights
The Festival Tribute Nights is the largest festival in Nouvelle-Aquitaine dedicated to tribute bands. Organized at Carré des Forges in Fargues-Saint-Hilaire, about a dozen kilometers from Bordeaux (Gironde), it pays homage each year to the greatest names in French and international rock from the last 50 years.
Over two evenings, the audience finds on stage the best cover bands from France and elsewhere, who revisit with respect and sound precision the repertoires of legends such as Téléphone, Indochine, Renaud, AC/DC, Deep Purple or INXS. A free shuttle service is set up from Bordeaux to facilitate access to the festival.
Festival Tribute Nights, the tribute to rock legends near Bordeaux
The Festival Tribute Nights is an unmissable event for rock lovers in Gironde. Founded by François Caillaud, a music enthusiast, it takes place at Carré des Forges, in Fargues-Saint-Hilaire, in the Coteaux bordelais, about a dozen kilometers from Bordeaux.
A 100% tribute festival
The program is entirely dedicated to tribute bands: groups that perform, with the greatest respect and careful sound quality, the repertoire of bands that have marked French and international rock for fifty years. Over the editions, the festival has paid tribute to Téléphone, Indochine, Renaud, AC/DC, Deep Purple, INXS and many others.
Two evenings of concerts
The festival generally takes place over two evenings (Friday and Saturday), bringing together several tribute bands each night. One evening is often dedicated to French rock, the other to classic international rock.
A friendly and accessible event
Beyond the concerts, the festival offers food trucks, bars, and an eco-responsible approach (reusable cups, waste sorting, vegetarian options). A large parking lot and PRM access are provided on site, and a free shuttle connects Bordeaux to the site on concert evenings.
