Rock in Évreux

Rock in Évreux: Normandy's must-see rock event

Rock in Évreux is a free, open-air music festival held every year on the last weekend of June at the Hippodrome de Navarre in Évreux, Eure. Created in 2017 by the association Normandy Rock, it took over from the legendary festival "Le Rock dans tous ses états" which had animated the city since the 1980s.

An eclectic and accessible program

True to its DNA, Rock in Évreux offers a varied program that goes beyond rock to embrace reggae, pop, electro, and urban music. Each edition mixes international headliners, confirmed French artists, and regional Norman discoveries. The festival stands out for its complete freeness, making live music accessible to the greatest number.

An exceptional setting

The Hippodrome de Navarre offers a green and spacious setting, ideal for welcoming thousands of festival-goers in a friendly and family atmosphere. The stages are set up on the racecourse site, creating a unique atmosphere where music resonates under the Norman sky. Local food stands and bars complete the festival experience.

A strong musical heritage

In December 2016, the disappearance of the festival "Le Rock dans tous ses états" left a huge void in Évreux's cultural landscape. From January 2017, the municipality and the Normandy Rock association, created for the occasion, took up the challenge of maintaining a major rock festival in Évreux. Since then, Rock in Évreux has continued to grow, welcoming artists of the stature of Matmatah, Shaka Ponk, Kyo, UB40, Nada Surf, and Louis Bertignac.

A committed festival

Beyond music, Rock in Évreux upholds values of openness and sharing. The festival is accessible to all thanks to its freeness and implements actions for sustainable development. It actively contributes to the cultural and economic influence of the Eure region and Normandy.
