A travelling festival in the heart of Hauts-de-France
The Haute Fréquence Festival, launched in 2017 by the Hauts-de-France Region, is a unique musical event. Throughout November, it offers over thirty concerts in towns and villages across the region, taking place in various and sometimes unusual venues to resonate contemporary music where it's not always expected.
Unusual venues and musical encounters
Concerts are held in theatres, libraries, community halls, old farms, breweries, and even barges. This diversity of locations is at the heart of the festival's philosophy: to promote access to music and culture throughout the territory, including in the most rural communities.
La Grange à Musique in Creil
In Creil, La Grange à Musique (GAM) is one of the festival's key venues in the Oise department. A contemporary music venue labelled SMAC, it hosts several Haute Fréquence dates each year with an eclectic program mixing rock, pop, electro, folk, chanson, hip-hop, and jazz.
A demanding and diverse program
The festival highlights both emerging artists and established headliners from the French and international music scene. The diversity of musical genres represented—from rock to electro, hip-hop to jazz, chanson to folk—reflects the richness of contemporary musical creation.
A commitment to cultural democratization
Beyond the concerts, Haute Fréquence is strongly committed to cultural democratization. The festival offers affordable prices, outreach activities for audiences distant from culture, and encounters between artists and residents.
