15th anniversary: hip-hop legends in Thouars
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, the Les Arts'Osés festival pulled out all the stops with a lineup featuring legendary figures of French hip-hop and the international urban scene. On June 27 and 28, 2025, the esplanade of the Thouars castle vibrated to the sound of Neg's Marron, Sniper — a mythical French rap group —, Dadi, and Atili.
The electro and dub stage was represented by Hilight Tribe, pioneers of the world-renowned "free trance," and Purple Zone. The DavyCroket Crew provided the DJ atmosphere, while local artists from the Thouarsais region and the winner of the music competition kicked things off. Breakdance battles, street basketball, urban sports demonstrations, and graphic arts exhibitions completed this memorable anniversary edition.
