History
This modern music festival was created in 2007. Year after year, it has grown to accommodate some 30 artists and nearly 40,000 spectators.
Place
Since 2023, the festival has been held in the gardens of the Lydia in Le Barcarès.
Until 2019, the festival was held in the grounds of the Château de Valmy in Argelès-sur-Mer. This park, which offers one of the finest views of the coast, has been managed by the town of Argelès since 1987.
We invite you to visit this place to enjoy this quiet park (except during the festival of course…), test and/or buy wines (we particularly recommend “Les Roses Blanches de Valmy“) or have lunch / dinner at “La Table de Valmy” in this very pleasant environment (see also our article about Argelès restaurants).
After 2 years without a festival due to the Covid epidemic, the festival was held in 2022 at the Château d’Aubiry in Céret. This eclectic neo-baroque style castle, built between 1893 and 1904, was commissioned by industrialist Pierre Bardou-Job from Danish architect Viggo Dorph-Petersen.
In reality, Pierre Bardou wanted to offer a castle to each of his 3 children. There will therefore be Aubiry Castle in Céret for his son Justin, Ducup Park Castle for his daughter Camille and Valmy Castle for his daughter Jean.
