Les Nuits Bressanes
Music festival in the heart of Bresse bourguignonne
About Nuits Bressanes
Created in 2012 in Louhans, Les Nuits Bressanes has become in a few years an essential summer event on the French music scene. At the Stade de Bram, in this small town of Bresse known for its Monday market and exceptional poultry, the biggest names in French song and variety perform on stage in front of 6,500 spectators. From Julien Clerc to Soprano, from Francis Cabrel to Patrick Bruel, the festival has welcomed over a million spectators since its creation.

Bresse celebrates
The adventure of Nuits Bressanes began in 2012, when Dominique Prudent convinced his friend Julien Clerc to come and sing at the Stade de Bram in Louhans. It was a daring bet: to organize a major music festival in a small Bresse town of 6,000 inhabitants, known until then for its famous Monday market — the oldest in France, attested since the 13th century — and for its AOC poultry. The success was immediate and has not waned.
The greatest voices of French song
In over a decade, the festival has hosted the biggest names on the French scene: Johnny Hallyday, Francis Cabrel, Patrick Bruel, Florent Pagny, Zazie, Kendji Girac, Gims, Zaz, M. Pokora, Grand Corps Malade, Calogero, Pascal Obispo, Slimane, and Laurent Gerra. With a capacity of 6,500 seats, the Stade de Bram offers exceptional proximity to the artists, far from impersonal mega-festivals.
A festival rooted in its terroir
Les Nuits Bressanes is more than just a music festival: it is a celebration of Bresse bourguignonne and its way of life. Local food, friendly atmosphere, discovery of Bressan heritage — the festival is deeply rooted in its territory. Since 2013, the Soirées Bressanes have highlighted young regional talents from Saône-et-Loire, Ain, and Jura as opening acts for the headliners.
Undiminished success
In eleven editions, Les Nuits Bressanes has attracted over one million spectators and has established itself as one of the highlights of the French musical summer. The festival continues to grow while preserving the warm and family-friendly spirit that makes it unique.
