GrÔstival
Solidarity and music festival in favor of organ donation
About GrÔstival
A festival with a big heart
GrÔstival was born from a simple and strong conviction: music and celebration can serve an essential cause. Organized by Les PoOlettes and La Fabrique des Grô, this festival was created to raise public awareness about organ donation while offering an evening of quality concerts in a warm and supportive atmosphere.
La Fabrique des Grô: a committed cultural venue
The festival takes place at the Site des Brasseries in Maxéville, a former industrial site converted into a cultural venue. La Fabrique des Grô, a concert hall and cultural space, is the beating heart of this event. This unique venue, steeped in industrial history, offers a human-sized setting for a festival where proximity between artists and the public is at the heart of the experience.
An eclectic and festive program
Each edition of GrÔstival offers a varied musical program, mixing:
- Rock and alternative rock: bands with infectious energy to get the crowd going.
- Brass bands and festive music: brass ensembles that ensure the atmosphere and invite dancing.
- Electronic music and DJ sets: to keep the party going all night long.
- Discoveries and emerging artists: the festival makes it a point of honor to program up-and-coming artists.
The 7th edition in 2026: Rock'N'Roll and committed
The 7th edition of GrÔstival, announced for May 13, 2026, promises a resolutely Rock'N'Roll evening with a choice lineup including No One is Innocent, La Tournée du Bocal et la Fanfare Moussaka, Du vent dans les micros and Karaokids United. The festival will run from 6 PM to 2 AM.
A solidarity commitment beyond music
GrÔstival doesn't just program concerts: each edition is an opportunity to raise public awareness about organ donation through information stands, testimonials and dedicated activities. This solidarity dimension is what makes this event unique and strong in the Lorraine festival scene.
GrÔstival — edition 2026
The 7th edition of GrÔstival was held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at La Fabrique des Grô (Site des Brasseries, Maxéville), from 6 PM to 2 AM. A resolutely Rock'N'Roll evening in support of organ donation, featuring No One is Innocent as the headliner, accompanied by La Tournée du Bocal & Fanfare Moussaka, Du vent dans les micros, Karaokids United, and Tubatomix between stages.
GrÔstival #7: A Rock'N'Roll and Committed 7th Edition
The 7th edition of GrÔstival took place on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 (Ascension Eve) at La Fabrique des Grô, on the Site des Brasseries in Maxéville, from 6 PM to 2 AM. As every year, the evening combined concerts, on-site catering, craft beers brewed on site, and awareness-raising for organ donation, a cause championed by the organizing associations Les PoOlettes and La Fabrique des Grô since the festival's creation in 2020.
A Resolutely Rock'N'Roll Lineup
Edition #7 made an impression with a strong rock program: No One is Innocent, a reference in committed French rock for over 30 years, headlined, surrounded by La Tournée du Bocal & la Fanfare Moussaka (a septet reinforced with a brass section), Du vent dans les micros, Karaokids United (a collective of 9 musicians covering punk rock classics), and Tubatomix, a vinyl DJ duo providing entertainment between stages.
A Solidarity Commitment at the Heart of the Project
Beyond the concerts, GrÔstival remains an activist event: information stands on organ donation, testimonials, presence of partner associations. About thirty volunteers ensured the welcome of festival-goers, with on-site catering (food trucks, crepes), a bar with local craft beers (6 references including beers brewed on site by Brasserie Rem's), and PRM accessibility.
La Fabrique des Grô: A Committed Cultural Venue
The festival takes place at the Site des Brasseries in Maxéville, a former industrial site converted into a cultural and brewing venue. La Fabrique des Grô, both a craft brewery and a concert hall, regularly schedules musical evenings throughout the year — an atypical, human-scale setting where proximity between artists and audience is at the heart of the experience.
