Printemps de Bourges traditionally opens the French festival season. Since 1977, it has followed the evolution of contemporary music while helping new artists, styles and professional practices emerge.
A laboratory for new music
Chanson, rock, rap, pop, electronic and experimental music meet through concerts, original productions and performances across the city.
Discovering the next generation
The iNOUïS programme identifies and supports emerging artists throughout France. Together with a substantial professional programme, this makes Printemps de Bourges both a public festival and a key observatory for the music sector.
2026 edition
The 50th edition took place from 14 to 19 April 2026, bringing together more than 130 artists and iNOUïS acts.
