Saint-Étienne: the Words and Music Festival is preparing for its 30th anniversary!

After two blank years due to the health crisis, the Words and Music festival will make its big comeback from May 16 to 22, in Saint-Étienne.

Artists from the emerging scene and confirmed talents will be present throughout the festival. Ben Mazué, Barbara Pravi, La Rue Kétanou or Ours will be among the headliners of this 30th anniversary edition.

In total, these are no less than 47 artists will be visiting Saint-Étienne : at the Zénith, at La Comète, at L’Usine, at Le Fil, but also in bars. The Château du Rozier de Feurs will also be mobilized (the
Ticketing and the complete programming).

Free concerts

An event that also wants to be accessible. “We have a lot of free concerts or at 5 euros. We really made efforts in this direction. This year, we have an extraordinary scene. The artists have not played for two years, they are stamping with impatience”promises the director of the festival, Simon Javelle.

Emphasis will also be placed on parity this year, with 40% of the board will be female and two workshops that will be dedicated specifically to women.

Radio SCOOP is a partner of the Words and Music festival scheduled for May 16 to 22, in Saint-Étienne.
