About Music Festival in Gardanne
Every June 21, Gardanne celebrates the Fête de la Musique (Music Festival): amateur musicians and invited groups play for free throughout the city center, from Boulevard Carnot to Cours Forbin and Cours de la République. Organized by the Djolé association and the City of Gardanne, the evening is entirely free and brings together all styles, from African percussion to rock, jazz, house, and French song.
The Fête de la Musique in Gardanne
As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique transforms the city of Gardanne into an open-air stage every June 21. Music freely takes over public spaces, from early evening until the heart of the night, in all genres and for all audiences.
A festival throughout the city center
Organized by the Djolé association in conjunction with the City of Gardanne, the festival usually features about thirty groups across several areas of the city center: Boulevard Carnot, Cours Forbin, and Cours de la République host successive stages, while bars and restaurants extend the evening onto their terraces. Genres coexist without hierarchy: African percussion, house, pop, rock, jazz, blues, reggae, traditional Balkan music, 80s hits, rap, and French song.
