Amplified music festival in the heart of Perche
Born in 2022, the Perche en Rock festival has quickly established itself as a must-attend event for amplified music in Normandy. Located at the ferme du Boistier, in the municipality of Préaux-du-Perche (Perche-en-Nocé), the event focuses on a curated program mixing rock, indie, post-punk, garage, and experimental music, in a spirit of discovery and sharing.
Each edition brings together about ten bands over two days with complementary styles. The artistic direction favors coherence over abundance, allowing each act to express itself fully to an attentive audience. Artists like Full Moon Little House have marked past editions with their sensitive and immersive approach, between carefully crafted compositions and worked atmospheres.
Unlike large open-air festivals, Perche en Rock cultivates proximity. The deliberately limited capacity allows for direct interaction between musicians and festival-goers, in the spirit of clubs and alternative scenes. This philosophy is reflected in the very organization of the event, driven by a team of enthusiasts rooted in the territory.
The Boistier farm offers a remarkable rural setting, between the hedgerows and hills of Perche. The site is ideally suited for a human-scale festival where music resonates in a preserved environment. Festival-goers enjoy the Norman countryside while discovering current and bold sounds.
On-site, local catering stands and a bar offer products from the Perche region. The relaxed and warm atmosphere makes each edition a moment of sharing around music and Norman gastronomy.
Perche en Rock is part of an eco-responsible approach, with particular attention paid to waste management, short supply chains for catering, and limiting the event's environmental footprint. The festival also contributes to the cultural dynamism of Perche by attracting an audience from all over Normandy and beyond.
5th anniversary edition of Perche en Rock, on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27, 2026 at the Boistier farm (Préaux-du-Perche, Perche-en-Nocé). Two days of amplified music with free pricing, featuring about ten rock, indie, stoner, and electro-rock bands, a craft market, entertainment, and local food in the heart of the Perche region.
For its fifth anniversary, Perche en Rock returns to the Boistier farm on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27, 2026 with a special anniversary program. The festival remains true to its spirit: a human-sized capacity, a demanding and coherent artistic direction, and proximity between artists and audience in a rural setting.
The 2026 program highlights amplified music in all its diversity — psychedelic rock, electro-rock, post/doom, alternative metal, stoner, chanson — with emerging and established acts. Several artists are making a return to the Boistier stage, such as Grandma's Ashes, back three years after their last appearance, and Mélanie Lesage (from the band Damantra, programmed in 2024) in a solo format.
Beyond the concerts, this edition offers shows, live graffiti, a craft market, wooden games, and various activities, as well as local and organic food.
A free shuttle service is provided between the festival site and Nogent-le-Rotrou train station (pre-registration by email required). The site is located at the Boistier farm, Préaux-du-Perche, 61340 Perche-en-Nocé.
