Fête de la musique in Biarritz
Every year in France, every town celebrates the Fête de la Musique, and Biarritz is no exception. Discover with us the craziness of Biarritz’s Fête de la Musique.
Numerous stages to celebrate the music
Biarritz will once again be the scene of the Fête de la Musique on June 21. This will already be the 39th edition of the Fête de la Musique in Biarritz. A long-awaited event for fans of good music. As usual, the festivities will take over most of the town and the seafront.
The city’s café-concerts will be transformed into stages for artists and music groups of all kinds. The various stages, including Les Baigneuses, Olatua and Place Sainte-Eugénie, will feature a wide range of musical styles.
In 2019, the Parvis Sud opposite the Grande Plage welcomed the Country Roosters with their unique style, a mix of blues and rock. The HK groove also performed here, with a full repertoire of songs inspired by the great currents of contemporary music: pop, rock and blues.
As for the Place Sainte-Eugénie, it vibrated to the West Indian rhythm, with Yo, le son des Antilles, a band that will also perform in 2019 at the Port des Pêcheurs.
While the Place Sobradiel in the Halles district saw Thomseeds solo with indie pop and Les Clouds with classic pop-rock.
In the city center, other acts were on show. The Ttipito banda always played with its Basque party tunes, ZumbiRei, faithful to the batucada register, the BokaleBrass band, inspired by New Orleans marching bands such as TremeBrass Band, Dr John, or the Mardi Gras Indians were also part of the program.

There’s no doubt that this year’s fête de la musique will have even more surprises in store. Last year, the Royal cinema hosted a ciné-concert evening with two shows and a screening. The first part of both shows featured performances by such talented artists as Victoiria Picone on piano and vocals, Zoé Saubat on cello, Mixel Hausseguy on violin and Shue Design on video. The second part, featuring François Malmy on guitar, Luc Marie-Sainte on guitar and looper, and Karen Perez on vocals, provided the “FLK Experience”. The film “Rocketman”, a biopic dedicated to the singer Elton John, was chosen for the cinema part.
In Olatua, at the Aquarium snack bar, an atmosphere of electronic sounds mixed with disco reigned. The Musique d’apéritif collective called on Turkish-born DJ Mehmet Aslan for an open-air session.
Your summer will undoubtedly be unforgettable, with special concerts in Bayonne, Anglet, Saint Jean de Luz, Bidart and Hendaye.
