Concerts

A Unique Musical Journey

Welcome to this exceptional day of sound immersion, a true journey through time, cultures and emotions. To open the festivities, let yourself be enchanted by Morgane La Fay and her mystical project Faybula. Coming from the north of the country, this storyteller will resurrect forgotten legends through ritual songs mixing ancient languages for a spiritual and timeless opening.

The tone will change radically with the arrival on stage of Buccaneers Bastards. This Belgian punk trio, armed with an overcharged MIDI drum kit, will fuse hardcore, metal and Celtic sounds to deliver a raw and committed set, proving with a defiant energy that the punk is not dead.

The party will continue even more intensely with Those Fucking Bells. This high-voltage Belgian band will recreate the warm, ultra-dynamic atmosphere of traditional Irish pubs. Relying almost exclusively on their own creative compositions rather than on covers, their wild folk rock will offer an explosive cocktail ideal for making the entire audience dance and sing in unison.

Finally, to bring this day to a grand finale, the quintet from Besançon Askemåne will take the stage. The band will carry the audience into a unique shamanic trance, driven by tribal percussion and deep polyphonic chants. Currently in the studio for their second album, they will offer an immersive and vibrant experience with Nordic influences to close this mystical journey

Activities

Dive into the Heart of the Adventure!

Throughout the day, the festival comes alive with shows, activities and immersive experiences for the whole family. Stroll among the historic encampments, try your hand at archery or axe throwing, admire sword-fighting demonstrations and let yourself be carried away by colorful characters who will wander through the aisles. Every corner of the site holds its share of surprises and adventures.

Between performances by Renards Draconiques, the poetic magic of Augure, le Sorcier de la Nature, and the antics of Gueux de Flandres, the shows will punctuate your day with unforgettable moments. Those who enjoy a challenge can also try the many games at Cirque Bardini, where skill, chance and good cheer will be on hand, with some prizes up for grabs for the luckiest.

The little ones will not be left out thanks to the bouncy castle, the face-painting stall and numerous activities designed especially for them. And above all, don't miss the most unusual event of the day: la toute première Course de Licornes de la Ville de Mons! A unique show that promises to make young and old laugh, dream and be amazed.

Games

Play, discover, share!

Whether you are an occasional player, a strategy enthusiast or simply curious, the Pôle Jeux opens its doors to you for a day marked by conviviality. Come discover the world of board games thanks to the many free-access activities offered by the gaming associations Les Esprits Joueurs and Lens-Les-Dés, who will accompany you throughout the day to let you try a multitude of games.

We will also have the pleasure of welcoming back Vincent Joassin, faithful to the Estivales rendezvous, who will once again share his passion with the public. For discoveries, our partner N'Joy will be present with a selection of games for sale, new releases and plenty of advice to enrich your game library.

Finally, don't miss the Bourse aux Jeux, the new feature of this edition! It's the perfect opportunity to sell the games that are gathering dust on your shelves or to unearth new gems at low prices. A great way to give board games a second life while sharing your passion with other players.
