🌟 Thursday, August 29th: A Night of Legends and Newcomers 🌟

We’re kicking things off with a lineup that’s straight-up legendary. The festival’s first day is like opening a treasure chest of musical gems. Leading the charge is the one and only Francis Cabrel, the master of French chanson. Get ready to sway to classics like “Je l’aime à mourir” and “Petite Marie” as the sun sets over Toulouse. But that’s just the beginning!

Next up is Jain, the powerhouse of pop-electro-world music fusion. Her hits “Come” and “Makeba” will have you jumping, dancing, and maybe even inventing a few new moves on the spot. Feeling the rhythm yet? Well, hold on, because MC Solaar is about to drop in with his smooth, jazzy rap that’s as much poetry as it is music. Expect to hear timeless tracks like “Bouge de là” and “Caroline.”

The night doesn’t stop there—Deluxe will keep the funky vibes flowing with their infectious grooves, while Tiken Jah Fakoly, the king of Ivorian reggae, delivers powerful, socially conscious anthems like “Plus rien ne m’étonne.” Adding to the mix are Georgio, bringing a dose of urban poetry, and Fabian y su salsa, who’ll transport you straight to a Latin fiesta. And let’s not forget DJ Jahma, who will be setting the mood right from the start with a warm-up set that’ll make sure your dancing shoes are good and broken in by the time the headliners hit the stage.

🎤 Friday, August 30th: A Sonic Adventure 🎤

Day two is where things get really wild! Hip-hop, electro, pop, and everything in between—it’s all here, and it’s all awesome. Booba, the “Duc de Boulogne” himself, is ready to turn up the heat with his hardcore rhymes and massive stage presence. If you know tracks like “DKR” and “G5,” you already know this set is going to be fire.

Following Booba, we’ve got PLK, one of the brightest stars in the French rap scene. His rapid-fire flow and sharp lyrics are going to electrify the crowd. But it’s not just about rap tonight—Nina Kraviz, the techno queen, will be spinning tracks that take you on a hypnotic journey deep into the night. Her beats are the kind that get under your skin in the best way possible.

And there’s more! Yoa will offer a refreshing burst of alternative pop, while Oden & Fatzo’s house beats will keep you dancing till your legs give out. Yamê, Zamdane, Jersey, and Visceral are all bringing their unique flavors to the mix, ensuring that no matter your taste, there’s something to get you moving. DJ Joy Nickson will kick things off with a warm-up set that sets the perfect tone for a night of sonic exploration.

🎶 Saturday, August 31st: The Homecoming Heroes and More 🎶

Saturday is the day for locals and visitors alike as Toulouse’s very own Bigflo & Oli take the stage for a “Show spécial Rose” that’s sure to be one for the history books. These brothers, the brains behind the Rose Festival, have something special up their sleeves, and you won’t want to miss a single second of it.

But Bigflo & Oli aren’t the only ones bringing the heat. Niska is ready to get the crowd hyped with his infectious tracks like “Réseaux,” while Zola keeps the energy at a fever pitch with his dynamic rap style. Need a breather? Pomme’s ethereal voice and intimate compositions will provide the perfect moment of reflection before the beats of Trym’s techno set bring you back into the groove.

All good things must come to an end, but the Rose Festival 2024 is going out with a bang! The final day is packed with top-tier talent, ready to make sure the festival ends on a high note.

Dadju & Tayc are teaming up for a set that’s going to be pure magic. Their smooth R&B sounds will melt your heart and get your feet moving all at once. And then there’s Justice. If you’ve ever danced to “D.A.N.C.E.” or shouted along to “We Are Your Friends,” you know exactly how epic this set is going to be. Expect big beats, big lights, and even bigger energy.

But that’s not all! Tif will bring a touch of indie charm, while Mathame’s melodic techno will sweep you off your feet.
