About ONYX Festival
ONYX Festival: A festival by and for students
ONYX Festival was born from the initiative of students in the Master 1 Cultural Project Management program at Université Clermont Auvergne (UCA). This free, multidisciplinary festival transforms the La Rotonde university campus into a true festival site, open to all. The event stands out for its commitment to inclusion and eco-responsibility.
A Rich and Diverse Program
The festival offers an eclectic program combining:
- Concerts and DJ sets with emerging artists
- Drag shows with nine drag artists
- Fanfare with Hépatix, the medical and pharmacy student band
- Theater and comedy with stand-up and live performances
- Participatory workshops: beatmaking, poetry slam, rock workshop
- Short film screenings
- Associative village and safe space
A Strong Commitment
ONYX Festival upholds strong values of openness, diversity, and sustainable development. The festival features vegetarian catering via food trucks, a safe space for the well-being of all festival-goers, and an associative village highlighting student and local initiatives. Admission is completely free and open to all, democratizing access to culture.
A Transformed University Setting
The La Rotonde campus, located at Pôle tertiaire, 23 rue de la Rotonde in Clermont-Ferrand, is transformed for a weekend into a place for celebration and encounters. Two stages, thematic areas, and relaxation zones welcome festival-goers in a green and friendly environment.
