Palmarosa Festival

ℹ️ Festival discontinued — last edition in 2024. The Palmarosa Festival is no longer held. Its 2025 edition was canceled on March 5, 2025, and no edition has been scheduled since.

An indie-pop-rock festival at Domaine de Grammont

The Palmarosa Festival was a contemporary music festival with an indie-pop-rock focus, organized every summer at the Domaine de Grammont, east of Montpellier. An independent and eco-responsible festival, it offered a three-day program in late August mixing international artists and the French scene, with particular attention paid to public comfort and environmental initiatives.

Over its editions (until 2024), it brought together artists such as Phoenix, Gossip, Tom Odell, and The Vaccines, and had established itself as one of the major musical events of the late Montpellier summer.

The end of an adventure

On March 5, 2025, the organizers announced the cancellation of the 2025 edition. The reason: significant financial difficulties. The 2024 edition had only gathered approximately 12,500 entries over three days, far from the break-even point, leaving a deficit of around €420,000 which added to the debts of previous editions. The limited capacity imposed on the Grammont site and the lack of sufficient public and private partnerships (independent, unsubsidized model) made the economic model untenable despite a reduction in prices.

The organizers left the door open for a possible return ("See you soon perhaps?"), without however announcing a new edition to date.
