The little brother of Motocultor in Morbihan
The Re-Animator Festival was born in 2024 from the desire of the association Motocultor Fest Prod to maintain a metal and rock event in Morbihan, after the Motocultor Festival moved to Carhaix-Plouguer in 2023. The organizing team, very attached to the Morbihan region where Motocultor grew for over a decade, chose to establish this new festival on the Vieux-Moulin site in Saint-Nolff, a stone's throw from the mythical Kerboulard site.
A sharp rock and metal program
Each edition of the Re-Animator Festival features a lineup of over 30 bands spread across two stages (Cuir Moustache and Macumba Stage) for three days. The program covers a wide spectrum of extreme and alternative music: metal, thrash, death metal, black metal, punk, hardcore, alternative rock, and experimental music. The festival showcases both internationally renowned bands and emerging French and European acts.
A natural setting
The Vieux-Moulin site in Saint-Nolff offers a rural and green setting typical of the Morbihan countryside. Festival-goers can enjoy free camping on-site, shaded areas, and an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of the early editions of Motocultor. The site is easily accessible from Vannes (15 minutes) and Lorient (45 minutes).
A community and festive spirit
True to the spirit of Motocultor, the Re-Animator Festival cultivates a family and community atmosphere. The team of passionate volunteers ensures a warm welcome, with various food stalls, bars offering local craft beers, and entertainment throughout the day. The festival is free for children under 12 and offers a reduced rate for those under 18.
Strong territorial roots
By settling in Saint-Nolff, the Re-Animator Festival continues the strong link between extreme music and Morbihan, woven since 2010 by Motocultor. The event contributes to the cultural and economic dynamism of the region, attracting festival-goers from all over France and Europe to this rural commune in southern Brittany.
