Nuit du Blues

Over twenty years of blues in the Marne

Created in the early 2000s, the Nuit du Blues in Fagnières has become an unmissable event for blues lovers in the Grand Est region over the years. Supported by the association Musiques sur la Ville, based in Châlons-en-Champagne, this annual evening perpetuates the tradition of live blues by welcoming talented artists to the stage of the Salle André-Gallois. The association, committed to cultural action and the promotion of contemporary music, organizes concerts and festivals throughout the year that keep the Châlons music scene alive.

A program between roots and modernity

Each edition of the Nuit du Blues offers a program that explores the different facets of blues: from delta blues to the most contemporary sounds, including blues rock, folk blues, groove, and soul. Over the years, the event has hosted renowned artists such as Fred Chapellier, Dirty Deep, Rozedale, Lee O'Nell Blues Gang, Slice & The Pocket Connection, and many others. The 23rd edition in 2026 will feature the trio Younger Spirit in neo blues rock and the group Red Beans & Pepper Sauce in classic rock and soul.

The Salle André-Gallois, a setting for the blues

The Nuit du Blues takes place at the Centre de Culture André-Gallois in Fagnières, a cultural space located a few minutes from Châlons-en-Champagne. The venue offers acoustics adapted to blues concerts and an intimate capacity that fosters proximity between artists and the audience. Doors open at 7 PM for a concert start at 8 PM, allowing spectators to settle in comfortably before being carried away by the guitar riffs and powerful blues vocals.

An event accessible to all

True to the philosophy of the association Musiques sur la Ville, the Nuit du Blues remains an accessible event with moderate prices: €15 for the full price and €10 for the reduced price for students, job seekers, and people with disabilities. Admission is free for children under 12 years old. This pricing policy allows as many people as possible to discover the blues in optimal conditions.
