Pop rock and variety concert halls Gard

Le Cratère, located in the heart of the city, is Alès' largest concert hall, seating 800. Comedians, concerts, plays, dance, screenings during the film festival... As a national stage, the Cratère hosts top-notch contemporary French and European shows, and also gives pride of place to local artists. The institution also presents Cratère Espace, an itinerant program covering 23 towns in the region, and has created Cratère Surface, a street art festival that is a must-see in June.

Cultural venues of this kind are precious in the region. Since spring 2017, La Moba, with a capacity of 350 people, has been run by a dozen music enthusiasts of all kinds. It offers rock concerts, rap or techno evenings, programming for all tastes, and even shows for young audiences during the week. Admission is often modest and, in fine weather, La Moba boasts a large patio for open-air dancing. In July, the Goud'Vibes street arts festival is organized by La Moba and the town of Goudargues.

This social and cultural centre in the west suburbs of Nîmes has always worked to make the current music in Nîmes. Long before the "live in bar" phenomenon resumes in town, SCOC SCOC could count on its beautiful showroom and host local, national, or international groups. Assisted by the Directorate of Cultural Affairs, the Federation of Current Music (Femag) and various associations, the programming team establishes a semi-annual agenda with formations of rock, reggae, hip-hop, oriental evenings. The only problem is Valdegour, located in ZUP… For those who do not have a vehicle, a free rotating shuttle service (go/return) is provided on the evenings of concerts with a departure at the Liberation Boulevard (front of the old entrance of the courthouse).
