TAGADA JONES
For more than 20 years, Tagada Jones has been rocking both national and international stages with their Punk-Hardcore music. The band has toured 25 countries, released 9 studio albums, and performed over 1,800 times! They are undoubtedly one of the few French Punk bands that export so well, singing in their native language. Tagada also embodies social awareness, political engagement, and is a strong reference in terms of independence. Heirs to the French alternative scene, they are recognized by their predecessors (Bérurier Noir, Parabellum, Shériff…) as the embodiment of the French "Do it yourself" spirit.

LES GARÇONS BOUCHERS | "TCHAO FRANÇOIS"
Tribute Tour to François Hadji-Lazaro
On September 16th, 2023, a tribute was paid to François Hadji-Lazaro, who passed away on February 25th, at the Fête de l'Humanité in Paris. The show "Tchao François" brought together former members of Les Garçons Bouchers and Pigalle. After an emotionally charged evening, the collective decided to go on tour to share this farewell.
The repertoire will include symbolic anthems of the band like *La Bière*, *La Lambada on n’aime pas ça*, *Carnivore*, *Le Rap des Garçons Bouchers*, and songs from the group’s 12-year career.
The band consists of Pierrot Sapu (vocals), Gaël Mesny (guitar), Benoit Simon (bass), JP Motte (drums), Toto Rossi (trumpet), Stefff Gotkovski (saxophone), and Jissé Batut (sound).

DIDIER WAMPAS PSYCHO ATTACKS
What is it? Well, it’s a Wampas concert like no other. Join Didier, Effello, an exceptional drummer, and a psycho double bassist for an old-school concert where the merry band will revisit the classics from the band's first two albums. A rock’n’roll XXL experience not to be missed. Don’t miss this exceptional reunion to relive the golden age of the Wampas!

HORS CONTRÔLE (Alone)
Hailing from Monceau-les-Mines, Hors Contrôle heavily influenced the French punk scene. Known for its wild energy, frantic guitar riffs, and rebellious spirit, the band started as a duo in 2000, with Régis on vocals, guitar, and drum machine, and Max on bass. After many line-up changes, Hors Contrôle has been operating solo since 2022 (with Régis). Hors Contrôle proves that punk music continues to offer a platform for the voiceless, promoting empowerment and unity in a society that often seeks to silence and divide.

THE DAMN GIVERS
The Damn Givers celebrate their 10-year anniversary with surprise guests! The Damn Givers is the story of four friends passionate about music. In 2014, after being involved in several other projects, they came together to create music mixing influences like New York Hardcore, Californian skate punk, and the ’77 wave!

BRASSEN'S NOT DEAD
It’s been 20 years since Brassen’s Not Dead has been performing concerts and festivals with their tribute shows to the poet. With more than 800 concerts across France and Europe, they deliver uncompromising punk rock while staying true to Brassens' melodies and lyrics. With four albums to their name, they continue to introduce lesser-known songs as well as the classics that everyone knows, giving them a new resonance. They manage to make punk appealing to die-hard Brassens fans, introduce him to younger generations, or help rediscover the quality of his songs for those who had forgotten.
Brassen’s Not Dead: Brassens, but unmistakably rock.

MAMBA BITES
MAMBA BITES is a power trio from French-speaking Switzerland with a shared goal: to make Punk Rock. Behind the glitter and smiles, their music blends the power of punk rock with melodic and pop elements, as well as heavier passages. In 2023, with over 30 gigs under their belt, the band has fully embraced their passion for the stage, touring the roads, lighting up concerts, and meeting new people.
