Les Trans'urbaines: Clermont-Ferrand's Hip-Hop Festival

Since 1997, the Les Trans'urbaines festival has been making Clermont-Ferrand vibrate to the rhythm of hip-hop culture. Created by the association Prémudanse, this event has become over the years an unmissable rendezvous for urban culture enthusiasts in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

A Festival Dedicated to Urban Cultures

Les Trans'urbaines explores all facets of hip-hop culture:

• Hip-hop dance: performances by renowned and emerging companies, battles, and showcases
• Graffiti: mural creations, exhibitions, and workshops
• DJing: sets and turntablism demonstrations
• Rap and urban music: concerts and showcases

Performances for All Audiences

For one week, the festival offers performances by renowned or emerging companies, as well as opportunities for meetings and artistic practice to highlight the richness of the hip-hop movement. Shows for young audiences and participatory workshops allow all ages to discover and practice urban disciplines.

A New Era with the Karavel Festival

In 2025, Les Trans'urbaines enters a new phase by becoming a stop on the Karavel Festival, created in 2007 by choreographer Mourad Merzouki. This collaboration allows the Clermont festival to benefit from Karavel's national reach while maintaining its identity and local roots.

A Commitment to Cultural Democratization

Les Trans'urbaines is not limited to stage performances. The festival carries out in-depth work with school audiences and neighborhood residents, offering dance workshops, graffiti introductions, and artist encounters. This commitment to cultural democratization has been at the heart of the festival's project since its inception.
