Pagaille Festival

Pagaille Festival takes over Place des Quinconces in central Bordeaux for two days of contemporary music right in the city centre. Run by three local outfits (Côte Ouest, part of the Sud Ouest group, Peel Productions and the Sauce Productions association), it brings together rock, electronic and urban acts alongside street arts and food trucks. The festival positions itself as a more agile, participatory event, a space of encounter and diversity in the heart of the city rather than a standardised mega gathering.
