HRB Festival

HRB Festival: Music for Solidarity

The HRB Festival, an acronym for HandiRockBike, is more than just a music festival. Created by the association of the same name, this charity event brings together rock and blues enthusiasts every year in Grenay, in the Pas-de-Calais mining basin, for a cause close to their hearts: the fight against cancer.

A Festival Benefiting the Centre Oscar Lambret

All profits from the HRB Festival are donated to the Centre Oscar Lambret in Lille, a regional cancer research center and a reference in oncology in the Hauts-de-France region. This charitable mission gives the festival a human and solidarity dimension that goes far beyond music, mobilizing volunteers and spectators around a common commitment.

A Rock and Blues Lineup

The HRB Festival features a music program focused on rock and blues, with regional and national bands performing on stage throughout the day. The energy of the live performances, the sound quality, and the festive atmosphere make each edition a highlight for amplified music lovers.

The Espace culturel Ronny Coutteure

The festival takes place at the Espace culturel Ronny Coutteure, a performance venue in Grenay located at 28 bis Boulevard de la Flandre. This venue, named in honor of the Northern actor and director Ronny Coutteure, offers a suitable setting for hosting a festival of this scale, with a quality stage and convivial spaces.

The Spirit of the Mining Basin

Grenay, a former mining town in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais mining basin, a UNESCO World Heritage site, embodies the values of solidarity and fraternity that characterize this territory. The HRB Festival is fully in line with this heritage, upholding the values of mutual aid and sharing that have always animated the communities of the mining basin.

An Event Driven by Volunteers

The HRB Festival is entirely organized by passionate volunteers, members of the HandiRockBike association. Their commitment and dedication make it possible to offer a quality event while maximizing the funds donated to cancer research. This human dimension makes the festival a unique and touching gathering.
