Music events Le Mans

Come and participate in these festivities where music is celebrated in all its forms. The meeting is always set on June 21, which is most often the summer solstice and therefore the longest of the year. What better chance to celebrate until dawn? Amateurs and professionals go on stage in the streets and public spaces. There are all tastes. Concerts programmed or improvised throughout the city reflect eclecticism; jazz, rock, world music, classical music, but also music of minorities and street dances. Each time, they make the heart of the city fought with great strokes. There are a few concerts in the hall that are in their infancy. Please note that these are a little in the margins of the circuit, since the International Charter of the Organizing Cities is particularly concerned with maintaining the free event. As amateurs, do not hesitate to invest a corner of the city. For here is an important opportunity to take place and find a place outside the usual cultural circuits. Music Festival is a demonstration that promotes different talents. It's a real moment of liesse to share. Musicians, singers, dancers and music lovers are happy with it. His success is international. To be lost among the crowd or to be guided by rhythms and sounds is certainly a true happiness for all.

Le Mans Cité Chanson has been running for over 20 years and has three main objectives:

To promote the art of song to the general public. A coherent series of events (major concerts, local events in a variety of public and private venues) aims to bring musical practice to as wide an audience as possible.

The development of amateur practices in the field of song: to this end, we have set up a variety of workshops and spaces for expression.

Supporting and promoting young French-speaking artists.

during Le Mans Cité Chanson, the public has already had the opportunity to discover numerous talents. The event has contributed to their career development and their emergence on various stages. Among them: Sanseverino, Jeanne Cherhal, Gérald Genty, Amélie les Crayons, Imbert-Imbert, Emmanuel Moire, Kwak, Les Joyeux Urbains, Boudu les Cop's, Le Petit Dernier, Flow, Yoanna, Askehoug, Evelyne gallet, Sarah Olivier, Orlando le trio, Emilie Marsh..

This festival is undoubtedly one of the major autumn events. It always attracts an innumerable crowd of music lovers of all kinds, and doesn't just appeal to the youngest among us, since its audience tends to reflect the intergenerational. The program is always highly original, with the organizers' greatest concern being to offer the greatest possible diversity and cultural mix. This is the festival's credo. This commitment to eclecticism always ensures top-quality concerts: Alpha Blondy, Skip The Use, Nina Hagen and Zazie, to name but a few. Big names have set the crowds alight in previous editions. There's no doubt that this year's live concerts will feature both established and up-and-coming artists. Concerts will be held on several stages in Le Mans, including the Centre des Expositions, Salle Jean-Carmet in Allonnes, Salle Coppelia in La Flèche and the Palais des Congrès.
