HippieFest

A Punk Festival at the Old Luméville Train Station

The Hippiepest was a self-managed festival organized at the old Luméville-en-Ornois train station (Meuse), a place bought by a collective and used during the summer as a camp: a marquee for concerts, a catering tent, vehicles, and temporary dwellings. The program featured alternative and noisy music: punk, ska, hardcore, noise, and grindcore, in a DIY atmosphere.

Several editions took place in the late 2000s. The Hippiepest #4 edition was held from July 30th to August 1st, and the last publicly documented edition, Hippiepest #5, took place in September 2011. The festival has not been held since. The old train station site has become a private activist location linked to the opposition to the Cigéo project.
