Rock in Creuse

ℹ️ 2026 Edition cancelled — festival suspended. France Bleu / ICI Creuse announced on January 20, 2026, that there would be no 2026 edition of Rock in Creuse. The organizing association P'Art tout à la fois was placed into judicial liquidation after a significant deficit from the 2025 edition. An event company has expressed interest in taking over the festival, retaining its name and identity, but no dates or format have been confirmed to date.

A unique concept: hundreds of musicians on stage

Rock in Creuse was an extraordinary participatory festival that brought together amateurs and professionals for two giant concerts. Organized by the association P'Art tout à la fois and led by Nicolas Cady, a passionate drum teacher, the festival offered a collective musical experience where everyone could go on stage and participate in the magic of rock.

Two concerts, two atmospheres

On Friday evening, the RIC Symphonique brought together about a hundred musicians with varied instruments — guitars, basses, drums, vocals, violins, cellos, saxophones, trumpets, and trombones — to perform rock covers arranged in a symphonic version. On Saturday evening, the RIC Rock offered a more energetic performance with a group of a hundred musicians, mainly guitarists, bassists, drummers, and singers, for an electric and unifying show.

A festive and friendly village

The Rock in Creuse Village opened from the afternoon with food trucks, refreshment stands, and artisans. On Friday, a school rock concert and an open stage enlivened the early evening. On Saturday, the festivities began in the morning with concerts, an Air Guitar competition, and numerous activities for the whole family. The 2nd edition (July 2025) had gathered approximately 1,400 spectators in Ajain.
