Hoora ! Festival

The Hoora ! Festival: Hip-Hop Conquers Rural Territories

Born in February 2024 from a meeting with MC Solaar and supported by the association Des Lendemains Qui Chantent based in Tulle, the Hoora ! Festival quickly established itself as a must-attend event for hip-hop culture in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. From its very first edition, the festival brought together nearly 1,300 people for MC Solaar's concert in Tulle, demonstrating the Limousin region's appetite for urban cultures.

A Traveling and Multidisciplinary Festival

Hoora ! stands out for its traveling format, unfolding over ten days across several towns: Limoges, Tulle, Brive-la-Gaillarde, Égletons, Uzerche, and Clermont-Ferrand. In Limoges, the Centre Culturel John Lennon hosts the program, with concerts featuring national headliners and emerging talents from the French rap scene.

All Hip-Hop Disciplines United

Beyond concerts, the festival explores all facets of hip-hop culture. The breakdance battles at the Espace Ventadour in Égletons bring together junior and professional dancers alongside renowned companies like Suprême Legacy. The writing and graffiti workshops allow the public to discover urban arts, while the MAO (music production) sessions open the doors to digital music creation.

The Kick-Off Springboard: Discovering Tomorrow's Talents

The Kick-Off program, a true rap springboard integrated into the festival, offers a stage to emerging artists from the region. This support program embodies Hoora !'s philosophy: democratizing urban cultures, stimulating creativity, and keeping hip-hop alive in rural areas, far from major cities.

Prestigious Headliners

Throughout its editions, the festival has hosted major French rap artists: MC Solaar during the first edition, followed by Sniper (Algérino and Aketo), Jok'Air, Benjamin Epps, Spider ZED, Furax Barbarossa, and Cleon and Peter Rabbit. The programming mixes French hip-hop legends and the new generation, in a festive and inclusive atmosphere.
