If a one-man band embraced active mobility, it would probably look a lot like JOUBe. Behind the name lies trained musician, tinkerer and passionate cyclist Romain Joubert. What began as a sustainable way to travel across the Jura and Greenland has gradually become an instrument in its own right. Equipped with contact microphones, strings, a small keyboard and a whole collection of knobs and pedals, JOUBe crafts an electro sound that is playful, bouncy and endlessly inventive wherever he goes.

Travelling from town to town and crossing borders along the way, JOUBe has also gathered recordings, sounds and stories that he weaves into his live sets, drawing audiences into his roaming explorations. La Bâtie invites you aboard this nomadic, DIY dancefloor, from L’Ariana to Hermance beach and the lycée in Saint-Genis-Pouilly. With JOUBe, music rolls forward, connects people and places, and turns every stop into an improvised celebration.

In addition to this concert on 27 August, two other events are planned with JOUBe. Meeting points and further details to be announced later!

• Wednesday 26 August, 20:00 – Musée Ariana (concert)
• Friday 28 August, 19:00 – Saint Genis-Pouilly, in the inner courtyard of the Lycée international (concert) > Before this final concert, music lovers arriving by bike can meet up with JOUBe at the Esplanade des Particules at CERN to meet the artist and cycle to the concert venue in a group with him. Meet at 18:30 sharp!

Hosted with the support of the Ville de Saint-Genis-Pouilly, in collaboration with the CERN and the Lycée International Ferney Voltaire – Saint-Genis-Pouilly campus. Hosted in collaboration with the commune d'Hermance.
