Les Grèves Musicales
Festival of contemporary music at the Ferme des Grèves, Saint-Eugène
About Les Grèves Musicales
A festival born from punk passion and love for the land
Les Grèves Musicales were born in September 2018, under the impetus of the association La Punkaravane and its singer Raphaël Mammar, known as Rafi. The idea: to create a human-sized, family-friendly, and eco-responsible contemporary music festival, in the historic setting of the Ferme des Grèves, located on the plateau between Chierry and Courboin, ten minutes from Château-Thierry. From the second edition in 2019, a dedicated association — Les Grèves Musicales — was created to carry the project sustainably.
La Ferme des Grèves: a place steeped in history
La Ferme des Grèves is a historic farmhouse set on a rural plateau in the south of Aisne, between the towns of Chierry, Courboin, and Blesmes. This bucolic setting offers an ideal backdrop for an open-air festival: large spaces, rural tranquility, and a starry sky. Two stages are set up: a main stage for headliners in rock, punk, and rap, and an intimate stage near the bar, dedicated to chanson and theater between sets, complemented by a sound system for reggae sessions late into the evening.
An eclectic and committed program
Over the years, the festival has hosted a wide variety of artists: Burning Heads (historic punk rock), Barcella (quirky chanson), Swift Guad (rap), Flor del Fango (Latin rock), Los Tres Puntos, Ramon Tapul (gypsy rock), La Punkaravane, Calamity Jeanne, Oslo Tropique, Bilbao Kung-Fu, and many others. Each edition features a dozen to twenty bands over two days, with a program mixing rock, punk, folk, rap, French chanson, and world music.
An eco-responsible and supportive festival
Les Grèves Musicales embodies a virtuous festival model: free admission but respectful of the work of artists, technicians, and volunteers; vegetarian catering with short and ultra-short loops; beers and drinks from local breweries; free parking with carpooling encouraged; free shuttle from Château-Thierry station in partnership with Keolis. The festival is co-financed by the European Union through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and supported by the Château-Thierry agglomeration community.
Evolution and future
In six editions in Saint-Eugène (2018-2024), the festival has won a loyal audience, gathering up to 900 festival-goers despite the rain during the 5th edition in 2023. The 6th edition in 2024 marked a turning point with the introduction of fixed pre-sale prices. For the 7th edition in 2025, the festival moved to Maisons Maquets (Brasserie des Fables) in Rozoy-Bellevalle, in a reduced format of a single free day.
Les Grèves Musicales — edition 2026
The 8th edition of Les Grèves Musicales is confirmed for Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, at Maisons Maquets in Rozoy-Bellevalle (02540), where the eco-responsible contemporary music festival is now permanently established after moving from the Ferme des Grèves in Saint-Eugène. Saturday (€10) features a rock, gypsy jazz, electro, and bluegrass program, while Sunday is entirely free, with concerts, an exhibitors' market, and a show for young audiences.
Les Grèves Musicales 2026: 8th Edition at Maisons Maquets
