About Swim Festival

Every year, the Swim Festival takes over La Sirène, La Rochelle's premier contemporary music venue, for a series of nights dedicated to independent music, including post-punk, noise rock, shoegaze, electro, psychedelic pop, and soul. True to its name, Sirène West Indie Music, the festival showcases a multi-day lineup of both emerging artists and established acts from the indie scene, complete with DJ sets, record sales, art exhibitions, and a natural wine bar to enjoy between sets.
