There are still many beautiful people coming to the Landes this summer, thanks to the Musicalarue festival, which is held every year in the village of Luxey, in Haute-Lande, for 35 years. This will be the 35th edition, yes in 2025. For this anniversary, the organizers have put together quite a program, which was unveiled this Monday, December 2 (what give ideas for Christmas gifts?) at 7:30 p.m. Among the headliners, Julien Doré but also Philippe Katerine, Santa, Lamomali, Ben Mazué, who will perform from July 25 to 27. But not only that.
Musicalarue
The revealed list has a total of 15 names. This new edition will remain faithful to the DNA of the festival: popular and eclectic. Headliners, devotees of French song, electro, rap and upcoming artists.
Let's come back for a moment to the singer with the gold curls: it will be a first at Luxey for Julien Doré. This will also be his only concert in the great South-West. “We are sincerely delighted to be able to welcome him, confides the festival programmer, Bastien Perez. He is one of the major artists currently and for many years. We will notably hear pieces from his latest album, Imposteur.”
From the spice of Philippe Katerine to the poetry of Ben Mazué
As for Philippe Katerine, the last time he came to the Landes was in 2021in the midst of a health crisis, for a measured festival, the public, seated. The singer risks bringing some spice, he who we could see during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games this summer. It's also been a while since Santa performed here, since 2015, almost ten years ago, with her previous band Hyphen Hyphen.
Among the faithful, Les Ogres de Barback & La Rue Kétanou, for their new tour. On the rap side, let's mention Oxmo Puccino, with an unrivaled voice and flow. A nugget too, the Canadian pianist, former rapper, musician, in short, the unclassifiable Chilly Gonzales, “le grail” for the programmer. For the last evening, a delicate voice, a singer with lyrics, incisive, poetic and humorousBen Mazue. Just like the American psych/folk/electro tandem (just that!) CocoRosie. And it's not over yet. There are still around forty names to be revealed… The ticket office is now open. The program of street art shows will be revealed in February.
