This festival, born in 1989, is one of the oldest in Roannais and today produces great French and international artists, in the villages of the Côte Roannaise and at Scarabée. In recent years, the public will remember the passages of Tri-Yan, Camille and Julie Berthollet, Gautier Capuçon or even the duo Louis Chedid and Yvan Cassar.

From 23 May to 25 June 2024

Printemps musical en Pays Roannais 2024

The 2024 edition

For his 35e edition, the festival is thinking big! Six concerts will be offered to you and one date has already been revealed and open for reservation: the Golden State Youth Orchestra of San Francisco, which will bring together 120 American prodigals at the Scarabée. The full program will be available from mid-March on the official festival website with new headliners to discover!

A new dynamic

More than 50 volunteers get involved during the festival. Days and nights, they are at reception, in the technical area, in assembly, in dismantling, in management, in the dressing room, on the road, in the kitchen, in the refreshment bar... And even on stage!

All year round, a team builds the programming, financing, communication strategy, partnerships, logistics, etc.

The scale, through the material conditions of organizing the festival and the human investment, is far from the achievements of recent years.

Yannis’ opinion

You who are lovers of French song or music lovers, embark on the Printemps Musical and discover internationally recognized artists and groups, but also beautiful and prodigious ensembles. The 50 volunteers promise you suspended moments, enough to disconnect you for a spring evening...
