About Pop'Cornes Festival
Pop'Cornes Festival: The Popular Festival of Haut-Doubs
Born in 2019 in Russey, a town in Haut-Doubs on the Swiss border, the Pop'Cornes Festival is a warm and popular musical event that animates this remote part of the Jura massif every September. From its very first edition, the festival has managed to bring together over 12,000 festival-goers, proving the demand for such an event in this mountain region.
Themed Evenings for All Tastes
The Pop'Cornes Festival stands out with its themed evenings designed to appeal to a wide and diverse audience:
- Electro/Rap Evening: Primarily targeting young people with DJ sets and artists from the urban scene
- Rock/Metal Evening: True to the festival's origins with powerful and energetic bands
- Variety/Family Evening: French chanson and variety artists for an intergenerational sharing moment
Popular and Unifying Artists
Over the years, the Pop'Cornes Festival has hosted artists such as Gilbert Montagné, Jessy Matador, Sébastien Patoche, Cindy Sander, Floorfilla, Romain Ughetto, and tribute bands like En Passant (100% Goldman). The programming mixes national headliners and local artists in a generous festive atmosphere.
Strong Territorial Roots
The Pop'Cornes Festival is driven by the Pop'Cornes Festival association, based in Russey. The event contributes to the cultural animation and dynamism of this rural mountain territory, often far from major musical events.
From Open Stage to the Village Hall
After outdoor editions, the festival adapted by offering events in the Russey village hall, providing a covered and friendly setting for the September evenings. This evolution demonstrates the organizers' adaptability in ensuring the event's longevity.
A Growing Festival
Despite interruptions due to the health crisis (2020-2021), the Pop'Cornes Festival has bounced back and continued its growth. Each edition enriches the program and strengthens the identity of this unique festival that celebrates popular music in all its forms, from rock to disco, including variety and electro.
