The festival
In Pointe-Noire, Congo's economic capital open to the Atlantic Ocean, the stage is lived outdoors and together. Pointe-Noire en Scène Festival shines a light on talent from here and elsewhere across four disciplines that answer each other: music, comedy, visual arts and tourism. A multidisciplinary festival that turns the city into a stage — and every edition into a popular celebration at the heart of Congolese culture.
The poster of the 12th edition proclaims it in Lingala: “Lelo Ndé Lelo!” — “Today is today!”. The tone is set: an edition “crazier, more ambitious”, says the festival, which now invites artists to seize their chance.
The 12th edition: 9 to 12 June 2027
