For the 2024 edition, the Fête de la Musique took over the entire historic center of Le Puy-en-Velay on Friday, June 21st. The City of Le Puy-en-Velay, in partnership with the Communauté d'Agglomération and the Conservatoire Les Ateliers des Arts, offered an eclectic program mixing rock, French chanson, pop-folk, tango, gospel, country, choirs, and variety music.

The main stage at Place du Breuil hosted the headliners with Gravity Fails, a rock-new wave-indie quartet from Le Puy-en-Velay, and the band Forever. Opening the show, the Parisian trio O'C'est Nous presented their pop-folk universe. On Place du Plot, artists Thierry Rothier & Cyrille Guy, the singing school, and the country band Welcome Santiag animated the afternoon and evening.

The Notre-Dame Cathedral offered an exceptional program with the ensembles Exagroove (gospel), Ars Musica, the Choeur Cathédrale-Collège, the Maîtrise de la Cathédrale du Puy, the Choeur du Centre de musique sacrée, and the Ensemble Sine Nomine. Place Cadelade hosted Tres Golpes (flamenco) and a milonga by Tango Volcanique du Velay, while Place Guy François echoed with the voices of the choirs Taulha'Quoi and A Coeur Joie.
