Les Vieilles Branches: A Festival Rooted in the Vosges

Created in 2015 by a collective of music enthusiasts, the Les Vieilles Branches association set out to organize, develop, and sustain a music festival in Bruyères, in the Vosges. The stated goal is clear: to showcase the Vosges department and revitalize this rural area through music and conviviality.

Memorable Early Editions

The first edition of the festival took place on May 6, 2017, at the Salle polyvalente in Bruyères. For this debut, the organizers opted for Maëva Gillot, discovered on the show The Voice Kids, as the opening act, followed by the group Non-Homologué, a famous cover band of Jean-Jacques Goldman. The success of this evening confirmed the appetite of the Vosges public for quality musical events.

Building on this initial success, the second edition took on a new dimension on June 2, 2018, with an open-air concert featuring a bold program. Among the artists present were: Jay Style, France's number one Daft Punk impersonator, Jack Simard, and the group Last Time, offering a mix of musical genres to satisfy all audiences.

A Festive and Popular Spirit

Les Vieilles Branches stands out for its friendly and accessible atmosphere. The festival emphasizes proximity between artists and the public, with on-site food and drink services to extend the evenings in good spirits. Supported by dedicated volunteers, the event embodies the associative spirit of the Vosges and contributes to the cultural life of Bruyères and its surroundings.
