Ocean Fest

Ocean Fest: Music for the Oceans

Ocean Fest was born in 2022 from a simple yet powerful idea: to bring artists and the public together through music to defend the oceans. Co-founded by journalist Hugo Clément and musician Kevin Rodrigues, known as Worakls, this unique event combines environmental commitment with a top-tier music lineup.

An Unprecedented Solidarity Concept

What makes Ocean Fest unique is its solidarity model: all artists play voluntarily, and all profits are donated to marine environmental defense associations. The association Blue Force, which spearheads the project, has chosen to support organizations like One Voice and Sea Shepherd France, who are at the forefront of protecting marine ecosystems.

Halle d'Iraty, The Festival's Venue

Ocean Fest takes place at the Halle d'Iraty, a large event space in Biarritz, ideal for hosting a music festival of this scale. Two days of concerts in a festive and committed atmosphere, where the audience dances to the sounds of pop, electro, and contemporary music while contributing to an essential cause.

An Eclectic and Committed Lineup

Each edition features a high-caliber lineup that spans musical genres. From French pop to electro, from live performances to DJ sets, Ocean Fest attracts national and international headliners. The festival has already hosted artists like Clara Luciani, Kavinsky, Breakbot, Ofenbach, Space 92, and of course Worakls himself, the event's co-founder.

Concrete Commitment

Beyond music, Ocean Fest raises public awareness about ocean protection issues through concrete actions and partnerships with marine conservation stakeholders. Every ticket purchased is a gesture for the ocean.
