A Punk and Rock Festival Born in 2019 in the Aisne
Founded in 2019 by the association Reivax Tour, L'Arsenal Rock Festival is a community music event rooted in Beautor, a small town in the Aisne department located between Chauny and Tergnier, in the Hauts-de-France region. This open-air festival aims to be punk, rock, festive, danceable, eco-friendly, supportive, and friendly, reflecting the DIY spirit that drives its volunteer organizers. After a successful first edition in September 2019, the festival had to contend with COVID-related cancellations in 2020 and 2021, before returning stronger in May 2022 for a second edition expanded to three days.
The Zone de Loisirs de Beautor: A Green Setting
The festival is held annually at the Zone de Loisirs de Beautor, a vast 30-hectare green space located on rue de la Fosse, by a pond. This natural and bucolic setting offers a striking contrast to the raw energy of the concerts. The proximity to the artists, the human scale of the event, and the good-natured atmosphere make it a popular gathering for fans of alternative music and families.
A Lineup True to the French Punk and Rock Spirit
L'Arsenal Rock Festival champions a lineup resolutely focused on punk, rock, and metal sung in French. Since its creation, the festival has hosted cult bands from the French alternative scene: Les Wampas, Ludwig Von 88, Lofofora, Marcel et son Orchestre, Silmarils, Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs, Guillotine, Pogo Car Crash Control, Cachemire, Les Vulves Assassines, Opium du Peuple, Vulgaires Machins, and Goulamas'k. Each edition mixes iconic headliners and emerging discoveries, offering a showcase for local bands and independent artists.
A Community Spirit and a Brotherly Atmosphere
Reivax Tour is a small association from Tergnier dedicated to promoting live music through the organization of concerts and festivals. L'Arsenal Rock Festival embodies this spirit: volunteer work, accessible prices, free entry for under 15s, proximity between the audience and artists, and children's areas for families. Festival-goers report an atmosphere of fraternity in the pit and a rare sense of camaraderie, where musicians mingle with the audience between sets. The festival welcomes an increasing number of spectators each year, confirming its place in the landscape of alternative festivals in the Hauts-de-France region.
