Rock'n Poche

Rock'n Poche: Over Thirty Years of Mountain Rock

Since 1992, Rock'n Poche has been making rock resonate in the Chablais mountains. This non-profit, volunteer festival, born in the village of Habère-Poche perched at an altitude of 950 meters, has become over the decades an unmissable event for fans of rock, punk, metal, and alternative music in Haute-Savoie. With over 480 bands programmed in thirty years, Rock'n Poche has forged a strong musical identity, true to the independent rock spirit.

The Rue des Alpages: A Unique Atmosphere in the World

What sets Rock'n Poche apart from other rock festivals is its 'rue des alpages', a unique space that embodies the festival's soul. In this friendly mountain setting, festival-goers gather between concerts to share a drink, taste local specialties, and experience the fraternal atmosphere that has earned the event its reputation. This 'street' has become over time a symbol of the festival's philosophy: music as a vector for social connection and conviviality.

A 100% Volunteer Festival

Rock'n Poche is powered each year by around 240 volunteers who ensure the organization, logistics, catering, and reception of the festival. This associative and participatory dimension is at the heart of the event's identity, which refuses to conform to commercial logic and remains true to its local roots and values of sharing.

16 Concerts on 2 Stages

The festival programs 16 concerts on 2 stages over two days, with a lineup that ranges from rock, punk, metal, ska, reggae, to alternative French chanson. The lineup is unveiled each year in mid-April, maintaining suspense and excitement among loyal festival-goers.

The 2026 Edition: The 34th

The 34th edition of Rock'n Poche will take place on July 31 and August 1, 2026, in Habère-Poche. The lineup will be unveiled on April 17, 2026. 'Blind pass' pre-sales are offered at €48, a price that reflects the festival's commitment to remaining accessible.
