Les Aiguilleurs Festival

The Les Aiguilleurs Festival, a Musical and Solidarity Adventure in Sèvres

Born from the passion of the SUM association (Structure Unitaire de Musique), the Les Aiguilleurs Festival has established itself as one of the essential cultural events in Sèvres and the south of the Hauts-de-Seine region. Organized annually in the heart of the town, this open-air festival brings together a community of electronic, dub, reggae, and alternative music enthusiasts in a resolutely festive and supportive spirit.

An Eclectic Program on Several Stages

Each year, the festival features several themed stages for a complete musical experience. The Turbotrain stage hosts the headliners of the main program, with artists like Parranda La Cruz, Radix, Dead Chic, Joe Yorke, or Spoink. The Berzingue stage highlights more underground and experimental groups. Finally, the Dub Corner, powered by Steppa Mo'Jah Irie Sound, is dedicated to the deepest dub and reggae vibrations, with sound systems that shake the ground in the evening.

The program, always carefully curated, gives pride of place to local and regional artists while also inviting names that resonate on the national scene. It is this ability to discover promising talents early on that has forged the reputation of Les Aiguilleurs among alternative music lovers.

A Festival with Free and Solidarity Pricing

One of the most remarkable features of Les Aiguilleurs is its economic model based on free and solidarity pricing: each festival-goer gives what they want and what they can. This inclusive approach guarantees access to culture for everyone, regardless of income, and strengthens the community bond at the heart of the festival. Bars are available at affordable prices, and food stalls complete the offering.

A Place Steeped in History and Energy

The festival takes place at 111 rue des Bruyères, in Sèvres, in a green space conducive to festive gatherings. The site, easily accessible by public transport from Paris, welcomes a mixed audience of all ages, regulars and newcomers, united by the same love for live music and human encounters.

SUM, the Driving Association

Behind the festival, the SUM association provides year-round activities for rehearsals, music education, and concert production. The Les Aiguilleurs Festival is the culmination of this effort: a moment of collective sharing where artists and the public come together to celebrate musical diversity. With over a decade of editions, the festival continues to grow while preserving its activist soul and human warmth.

In 2026, the festival reaches a new milestone by extending to two days, on Fridays and Saturdays, to offer even more concerts, encounters, and unforgettable moments in the town of Sèvres.
