Les jeudis du pressoir

Les Jeudis du Pressoir are free open-air concerts held every Thursday evening from July through August at the outdoor theatre next to the Saint-Loup church in Billom, in the Puy-de-Dôme. Each night pairs an emerging act, chosen through a regional talent showcase, with a more established band, spanning styles from rock and reggae to French chanson and world music. Run by several local associations, the event draws between 1,500 and 2,000 attendees each summer to a laid-back, heritage-rich setting.
