Retro Rock Festival

Vintage Rock in the Spotlight in Grasse

The Retro Rock Festival is a musical event dedicated to vintage rock held in Grasse, a city world-renowned for its perfumes but also a land of culture and festivals. This summer gathering celebrates the golden age of rock, from the pioneers of the 60s to the virtuosos of the 80s, including the heyday of progressive rock and blues rock of the 70s.

Grasse, Between Perfumes and Guitars

The festival takes place in the city center of Grasse, transforming the perfume capital into a rock temple for a weekend. Perched at 350 meters above sea level in the hinterland of the Côte d'Azur, Grasse offers an authentic Provençal setting where medieval alleys and shaded squares are wonderfully suited to the festive atmosphere of an open-air festival. The mild summer evenings add to the magic of the event.

A Program Focused on Classics

The Retro Rock Festival shines a spotlight on tribute bands honoring the greatest names in rock: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Creedence Clearwater Revival, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and many other legends are celebrated by passionate and talented groups. The lineup also includes vintage rock bands playing their own compositions in the spirit of the classics, as well as retro DJ sets to keep the party going.

A Festival for Enthusiasts

Beyond the concerts, the Retro Rock Festival offers a vintage village with stalls selling vinyl records, retro clothing, rock accessories, and collectibles. A food court with food trucks and local products completes the offering. The event attracts an audience of all ages, from nostalgics who lived through the golden age of rock to younger generations discovering these timeless sounds.

An Event That Keeps the Local Rock Scene Alive

The Retro Rock Festival also aims to showcase the local rock scene of the Alpes-Maritimes. Bands from the region open the evenings, benefiting from valuable exposure to an audience of enthusiasts. This local connection contributes to the cultural dynamism of Grasse and its hinterland.
