On n'a Plus 20 Ans Festival

On n'a Plus 20 Ans: Tagada Jones' Permanent Anniversary

Born in 2017 from the desire of the group Tagada Jones to celebrate their anniversary in grand style, the On n'a Plus 20 Ans festival quickly established itself as one of the major events on the French punk-rock scene. What was meant to be a fleeting party among musician friends has become an annual event eagerly awaited by thousands of fans of amplified music.

A Festival Rooted in Fontenay-le-Comte

Located at the Espace Culturel René Cassin – La Gare, in the heart of Fontenay-le-Comte in Vendée, the festival benefits from an ideal setting combining an indoor concert hall and outdoor spaces. Each edition features fifteen bands spread over three evenings, offering a comprehensive panorama of the French and international punk, rock, metal, ska, and hardcore scenes.

An Eclectic and Refined Lineup

Over the years, the festival has hosted top-tier headliners: Mass Hysteria, Ultra Vomit, Fishbone, La Ruda, Les Wampas, Ludwig von 88, Dagoba, Les Garçons Bouchers, Headcharger, and the Tambours du Bronx. Tagada Jones, true to tradition, performs each year in different configurations, from the classic format to a symphony orchestra.

A Unique Atmosphere

The spirit of the festival is based on conviviality and sharing. The food trucks prioritize local products and short supply chains, served in compostable packaging. Local beers Mélusine and Tri Martolod, including special Tagada Jones brews, accompany the evenings. Water is provided free of charge at the bars.

A Growing Event

Since its creation, the festival has continued to grow. The 2024 edition attracted over 12,000 festival-goers, confirming the enthusiasm for this event that combines raw energy, musical eclecticism, and a festive spirit. Organized by Rage Tour, Tagada Jones' booking agency, the festival benefits from professional organization while retaining the soul of a party among friends.

Dedicated Camping

A camping area is exclusively reserved for festival-goers, located on rue du Gaingalet, a few minutes' walk from the site. Accessible upon presentation of the festival wristband, it allows for extending the experience in a relaxed atmosphere.
