Twenty-four names, five nights, one W

The countdown is on. On Tuesday, November 10, the Printemps de Bourges Crédit Mutuel unveiled the first 24 names of its 51st edition, which will set Bourges alight from Tuesday, April 20 to Sunday, April 25, 2027. All of them are expected on the same stage: the W, the festival's big stage, for five nights from Wednesday, April 21 to Sunday, April 25 — and tickets for those five nights are already on sale.

French chanson, pop, rap, electro, zouk: this first wave sketches a Printemps true to itself, the festival that has brought generations and audiences together since 1977. There are the headliners everyone knows — Christophe Maé, Louane, PLK, Tayc, Jain — and the rising generation pushing through: RnBoi, Nono La Grinta, Marguerite, Merveille. Running through it all, one common thread: the urge to celebrate.
