Every summer, it takes over the Domaine de Nodris in Vertheuil, in the heart of Médoc, for three days of open-air concerts featuring international artists and emerging talents. Created in 1998, it attracts over 30,000 festival-goers each year in an exceptional natural setting between vineyards and forests.
Since its creation in 1998, the Reggae Sun Ska Festival has established itself as the unmissable event for reggae, dub, ska, and world music lovers in France. Located at the Domaine de Nodris in Vertheuil, in the Gironde Médoc region, the festival offers three days of rich and eclectic programming each summer on several open-air stages.
Each edition hosts over 45 artists from around the world.
