Les Arts s'en Mêlent: The Musical Celebration of the Vendée Bocage

Born in 2009 from the passion of a handful of volunteers united within the Art'Zimut association, the Les Arts s'en Mêlent festival has established itself as a must-attend event on the Vendée music scene. Every year in May, the Parc de la Godelinière in Les Landes-Genusson transforms into an open-air celebration space, welcoming over 3,500 people per evening over two days of concerts.

An Eclectic and Bold Program

The festival's strength lies in its ability to blend genres and musical universes. From reggae to hip-hop, from electro to pop, including French chanson and rock, each edition curates a lineup that surprises and unites. Over the years, the ASM stage has hosted renowned artists: Eddy de Pretto, Yannick Noah, Martin Solveig, Danakil, Dub Inc, Skip The Use, Matmatah, Mass Hysteria, Petit Biscuit, and Caballero & JeanJass.

A Festival Driven by its Volunteers

Entirely organized by volunteers, the Les Arts s'en Mêlent festival embodies the spirit of association and solidarity. The Art'Zimut association mobilizes 7 board members, about forty active members committed year-round, and over 350 volunteers on the day. This collective energy is felt in the warm welcome extended to festival-goers and the unique atmosphere that prevails on site.

A Rural and Friendly Setting

The Parc de la Godelinière offers an ideal green setting for an open-air festival. Away from the urban hustle, this natural site in Les Landes-Genusson, in the heart of the Vendée bocage in the Pays de Mortagne, allows you to enjoy concerts in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Free camping without reservation, on-site catering, and free entry for children under 12 make ASM an accessible and family-friendly festival.
