Festi'Vaux | Mardi 4 Août

DETAILED PROGRAMMING

From 19pm to 20:15pm – Discovery Stage: Skali Jam

Hailing from Charente, Skali Jam is a pure burst of energy, both joyful and serious. Their authentic and warm music is bathed in sunshine. It oozes reggae and raggamuffin rhythms that readily embrace the light.
Through world music. Fueled by the energy of their jam sessions, the group has forged a unique style, far removed from conventions. Their motto is to move and provoke thought. Their music is undeniably made for the stage. It makes people dance without losing the meaning of the words.
Skali Jam was the winner of the Tremplin des musiques actuelles 2026, organised by the City of Vaux-sur-Mer.

From 20:30 p.m. to 21:45 p.m. – Main Stage: La Route des Airs

Led by Richard's irreverent style, the quintet, with its contagious energy and diverse musical influences, throws open the doors to a sensitive and festive world. La Route des Airs offers a poetically engaged vision of the world, celebrating life in all its complexity and beauty.
Since its creation in 2010, La Route des Airs has forged its own path, broadening its musical horizons with each recording. With three albums under its belt, the quintet has crafted a unique universe, blending dreams and realities, always warm and festive. While they readily acknowledge drawing inspiration from Brassens, Brel, and Les Ogres de Barback, they are equally open to exploring different avenues, from swing sounds sprinkled with hip-hop (Grand Départ) to a more rock-oriented style, as heard on their latest album (Racines). On stage, the quintet dazzles with its vitality and infectious enthusiasm. Every concert is a journey.

From 22 p.m. to 23:30 p.m. – Main Stage: Leo's Howls

An iconic group on the French rock-folk scene, Les Hurlements d'Léo are coming to Festi'Vaux for a scorching concert. Their blend of French folk, rock, punk, and gypsy influences makes them a band as unique as they are endearing. On stage, it's a tidal wave of emotion and camaraderie, where the moment is a shared celebration.
For Les Hurlements d'Léo, it all goes back to 1995 when Laurent was still playing in an amateur band and Erwan was strumming away alone in his room. One thing was certain, though: they would dedicate themselves to music together, under the name Les Hurlements d'Léo, like the VRP song. Or perhaps it's a nod to the English novel by Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights… Who knows?
It must be said that the duo, originally from Mont-de-Marsan, grew up in a city that, as early as 1976 and 1977, was a rock 'n' roll powerhouse, hosting the first European punk festival! But above all, they belong to a generation that, in 1991, experienced a memorable concert in the city's arena, where bands like Casse-Pieds, Les Satellites, Les Wampas, Les VRP, and La Mano Negra thrilled a horde of kids. French alternative rock had arrived in the Landes region. And for our two protagonists, it was clear that French rock resonated and, above all, allowed for all kinds of daring, such as fusing genres by adding brass, accordion, and violin. Moreover, this music was accompanied by hope and a message.
Words that Christophe Miossec, Dominique A, and Mano Solo would polish, restoring them to their former glory, a glory still claimed today by Les Hurlements d'Léo. So many names and emotions that, 30 years later, make Les Hurlements d'Léo the valiant representatives of this alternative scene. With nine musicians on stage and an impressive brass section, their concerts are always a celebration!
