The Sirk Festival 2024: a totally crazy April in Dijon!

Dedicated to electronic dancefloor music, this iconic festival offers nine dates spread across seven different locations throughout the city, as well as special events related to the exhibition "When electronic music makes Dijon dance."

Where is the Sirk Festival taking place this year?

Since its inception in 2016, the SIRK Festival has established itself as a must-see event on the regional cultural scene, attracting electronic music enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds. For the 2024 edition, the festival is expanding its footprint by including new venues such as the Gaston Gérard Stadium and the Exhibition and Convention Center, while still keeping iconic sites like the Boulodrome, Cellier de Clairvaux, La Vapeur and Le Consortium.

A more diverse lineup than ever before!

This year, the SIRK Festival offers an incredible array of electronic sounds, with a total of 30 concerts on the lineup, including 12 featuring international artists, 13 national, and 5 regional. Festival-goers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a rich and diverse musical universe.

Among the must-see artists of this edition are five local talents: Pti Luc, Studyman, Fabzeu, Maaje b2b Kandilari, and Risk Crew. These artists, often present at events in the city, will bring their unique touch to the lineup, showcasing the richness and diversity of the Dijon electronic scene.

In 2024, the event is taking a new step by displaying a more inclusive lineup, giving a prominent place to sex and FINTA (Female, Intersex, Non-binary, Transgender, and Agender) people, who now represent more than half of the artistic programming. This initiative underscores the festival's commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity.

Driven by the commitment of the SIRK Festival to promote diversity and provide a fair platform for all artists, regardless of their gender or identity.
