The fourth edition of the We Loft music festival, which combines musical discoveries with beautiful heritage sites, takes place from January 19 to 29 in Roubaix.

Because you can make musical discoveries there

The bias of the festival is to invite emerging artists. Without overall coherence, but varying the pleasures. There will be chanson (Tim Dup, Arlt), folk (Geoffrey le Gaziou, Lonny, the Hay Babies), pop (Chahu, Aryane), electro (S8jfou, Laake), piano -voice (Ô Lake) or trip-hop (Blue Katrice).

Eclecticism is also present with the festival’s “red thread” artist, Flèche Lovea Swiss-Algerian artist who navigates between jazz, r’n’b and hip-hop, and who will perform three times between January 24 and 26, with a meditation, an experimental dinner and a concert. Just that !

Because you can discover beautiful places

We loft music’s second bet is to introduce you to these artists in beautiful places from the rich history of Roubaix. With each time small gauges, which allow to create unique atmospheres. Apart from the Villa Cavrois and the Swimming Pool, two dates which are already full, you can let yourself be tempted by the National Archives of the World of Labor and the National School for the Judicial Protection of Youth, installed in former textile factories. , or by the Gymnasium, the Brasserie Hub, the Ateliers Jouret, the Blue House…

Two homestay concerts

As in previous years, two “loft” concerts will take place in private accommodationwith a hip-hop evening in a loft and a pop concert in a mansion.

Finally, since the selected places are close to each other, “routes” are possible, with day passes from 12 to 21 euros (two to three concerts, depending on the days concerned) allowing you to navigate from one concert to another.

Because you can taste a unique beer there

Okay, this last argument is more anecdotal, but still! From the launch party, which takes place at the Brasserie HUB in Roubaix on January 19, your delicate palates will be able to taste a beer specially produced for the occasion by the said brewery.

Named the Eclipse, in a nod to the name of the association that carries the Cave aux Poètes, this sweet beverage to drink in moderation, which we are described as ” floral and slightly bitter “, will be to be discovered during each of the planned evenings. This light blonde will also be on sale in bottles and on tap, directly from the HUB brewery. Health !
