Rock N' Pork

Rock and Pork Delights in Stiring-Wendel

Rock N' Pork is an original event concept that marries two passions: live rock music and meat gastronomy. Organized by Java's Club, this event takes place at the Espace Les Anciennes Forges in Stiring-Wendel, a venue renowned for its acoustics and its converted industrial setting.

100% Live Music

The Rock N' Pork evening focuses on a 100% live musical program, with no DJs or playback. The lineup generally features two acts:

• Opening Act: A rock or pop-rock band from the regional scene kicks off the festivities with an energetic set.
• Headliner: A more substantial act, sometimes accompanied by renowned guest artists, delivers the main concert of the evening.

Quality Artists

Previous editions have hosted bands like Paradox, a well-known rock and pop-rock group from the Lorraine scene, and The Funkymen, a complete band with three brass players, keyboard, bass, guitar, and drums. Artists such as Marina D'Amico and Matteo Licata, former contestants from The Voice (TF1) and X Factor (M6), have also participated as guests.

Gastronomy at the Heart of the Event

The name "Rock N' Pork" is more than just a play on words: food plays a central role in the event. On the menu:

• Pulled Pork prepared in the American barbecue style.
• Spit-Roasted Wild Boar, slow-cooked for tender meat.
• Grills and chops cooked over a wood fire.
• Homemade fries and side dishes.

This gourmet offering, served throughout the evening, transforms the concert into a true gastronomic celebration.
