This will be the fourth edition of the V and B Fest’an event which immediately established itself in the region by lining up complete editions and varied posters. “The festival program is eclectic” confirms programmer Damien Jahier in an interview with the editorial staff. “It leaves room for foreign artists, (…) but the French are very present, established (…) as well as more recent. We also play our role as discoverers with a springboard.”

The editorial staff will keep you informed of the next additions to the poster, which promises to be as rich as it is surprising. In the meantime, relive the 2023 edition with our live report present in our weekly n°128.
