About Kultur'Elles Festival
Organized by the Music'al Sol association in Trèbes (Aude), the Kultur'Elles festival celebrates female musical creativity while standing against discrimination and violence directed at women and minorities through a program of concerts, workshops, and exhibitions.
Kultur'Elles Festival — edition 2026
The 11th edition of the festival takes place from November 5th to 7th, 2026, at the Salle du Bal in Aude, Trèbes (with the exception of the Saturday afternoon workshops, which will be held at the Town Hall's Salle des Congrès).
TRIBUTE: We wish to dedicate this edition to Rosine Charlut, who worked alongside us within the Collectif 11 Droits des Femmes to create this festival, among many other wonderful initiatives.
This year, we are hosting an exhibition and activist art workshops in collaboration with the Collectif 11 Droits des Femmes and Emmanuelle Salvador Tout'ArtZimut, as well as two concert evenings featuring rock, slam, and punk, with Melissmell and Osmée on one night, and La Pietà and Ultramoule on the other.
Featuring performances by the Rosies de Carcassonne and their choreographies of struggle.
The Kultur'Elles festival is back for its 11th edition, running from November 5th to 7th, 2026, at the Salle du Bal in Aude, Trèbes.

THE EVENINGS
► THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH Festival Opening
EXHIBITION PREVIEW – 6:30 PM
Come and discover the engaged art of Emmanuelle Salvador – Tout'ArtZimut in her presence.
Women's and minorities' initiatives
The Collectif 11 Droits des Femmes will be there to chat with you, joined by the Rosies de Carcassonne. This will also be an opportunity to discuss events organized across the department for November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
Followed by: SNACKS & MUSICAL VIBES
Let's have a drink, chat, and dive into the Kultur'Elles atmosphere with music.
► FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH from 8:30 PM - Concerts
OSMÉE – 9:00 PM
Rebellious Slam
Osmée is a singer-songwriter, rapper, slam poet, and artist from the local emerging scene. At the crossroads of rap, slam, and chanson, she crafts a unique universe driven by deep, powerful writing, a comforting and expressive voice, and a strong stage presence.
MELISSMELL – 10:30 PM
Engaged Rock Chanson
For over 20 years, Melissmell has been sharing her struggles, social commitments, and personal battles with a loyal audience. She made her name on the alternative rock scene, a scene that resonated strongly across France. With "Aux Armes," she imposed HER rock, and above all, a voice that had already lived a thousand lives—raspy and full of anger. Melissmell has never denied her commitment against injustice, racism, and general stupidity. Through thick and thin, she has carved her own path, never doubting her convictions or watering them down, even when others chose to soften their message in the general malaise.
With her "flower in the gun," she remains a fighter in her life as a woman, a mother, and an activist.
► SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH from 8:30 PM – Concerts
LA PIETÀ – 9:00 PM
Free and Intimate Rock
LA PIETÀ doesn't try to please. She tries to be real.
Swimming against the tide of an era dominated by filters, algorithms, and AI, La Pietà defends a deeply human—and therefore resolutely imperfect—rock. A rock that sweats, overflows, and trembles. Here, there are no avatars or artifice, just distorted guitars and French lyrics that resonate like heartbeats.
ULTRAMOULE – 10:30 PM
Activist Punk Electro Rock
Ultramoule, a frantic, eccentric, and radical trio from Lyon, turns the collision of genres into a sonic manifesto. With incisive vocals, punchy drum machines, electric violin, and electric cello, they transform strings into unleashed sound machines. Their music fuses punk, classical, and electronic elements; voices alternate between singing, roaring, rapping, whispering, and slogans, all in a raw, theatrical energy. Their songwriting blends melody and dissonance, groove and rupture, to create a space where anger turns into a collective celebration.
