After a sold-out 2024 edition, NOUS Festival comes back this August 8–10 with its signature blend of community-driven ethos and boundary-pushing electronic music. Set in the 13th-century Château de Bellocq in south-west France, the event offers an alternative to over-commercialized festivals, limiting entry to 1,000 guests per day, with zero corporate backing.
This year’s A-Z lineup includes:
Alejandro Molinari, Arabian Panther, Ballà Soundsystem, Curtis, Eco-Seastem, François del Mundo B2B Yahaira, Javi Redondo, Julian Reca, Kavin Beck, La Suinte, Lesaint, Ludviq, Marie Prude, Marlon Random, RAFF, REM’s Martinez B2B El Mosquetero, Roe Deers, Sei Dal, Stella Galactica, Toni Aparisi, Trusspe, Un Mensonge Par Jour, Warum, Alex Rossi, Bass-Ka B2B Black Beltza, and Le Coupe Gorge.
The festival will feature two stages, solar-powered eco-camping, dry toilets, local produce breakfasts, and a strong emphasis on sustainability and connection. Tickets start at €29/day or €50 for the weekend, with camping available for an additional €15. Bellocq is easily reachable by train — just an 18-minute walk from Puyoô station.
