Overview
About
The Rencontres Trans Musicales, founded in 1979 in Rennes by the Terrapin association, take place each year in early December, now at the Parc Expo near the airport. The festival built its reputation as a talent scout, favouring emerging artists over established headliners, while gradually broadening its programming from rock to a wide range of musical styles.
