The autumn meeting for contemporary music in Saint-Lô
Organized by Le Normandy, a SMAC (Scène de Musiques Actuelles) in Saint-Lô, the Les Rendez-vous Soniques festival is the major autumn event for contemporary music in the Manche region. Since its creation in 2009, the festival has offered a demanding and eclectic program each November, highlighting contemporary music in all its richness and diversity. Rock, electro, hip-hop, pop, chanson, experimental music: the festival explores all facets of current musical creation.
Since 2009, Les Rendez-vous Soniques has established itself as the essential meeting for contemporary music in the Manche region every autumn. Organized by Le Normandy, a venue labeled Scène de Musiques Actuelles (SMAC) since 2008, the festival benefits from the expertise and network of a major player in music dissemination in Normandy.
The strength of Les Rendez-vous Soniques lies in its programming, which rejects genre boundaries. Rock, electro, hip-hop, pop, French chanson, experimental music, post-punk, indie: the festival offers a complete panorama of current music, mixing confirmed headliners with emerging artists to discover.
Le Normandy, as a SMAC, has the mission to support developing artists and foster the emergence of new talent. The festival is thus a space for discovery and promotion of contemporary music, offering a showcase for local, regional, and national artists.
Le Normandy offers a season of about forty concerts and supports local and regional artists throughout the year. The venue, located at Place du Champ de Mars in Saint-Lô, is a reference point for contemporary music in Normandy, offering professional technical and acoustic conditions.
Les Rendez-vous Soniques is part of the cultural dynamic of the Saint-Lô agglomeration and the Manche department. The festival collaborates with local cultural players and contributes to the region's cultural life during the autumn period, which traditionally has fewer cultural events.
Far from the summer buzz of large outdoor festivals, Les Rendez-vous Soniques offers an intimate and warm musical experience in the venues of Saint-Lô. The autumn atmosphere, conducive to listening and concentration, allows the audience to experience intense musical moments in optimal acoustic conditions.
The 17th edition of Les Rendez-vous Soniques will be held from November 10 to 15, 2026, at Le Normandy in Saint-Lô. Six days of contemporary music with a program that explores all facets of current musical creation.
