The Papillons de Nuit festival is an annual musical event held in the picturesque town of Saint-Laurent-de-Cuves in Normandy. From June 6 to 8, 2025, the 23rd edition will bring music enthusiasts together, transforming the lively rural landscape into the cultural epicenter of the region.
Over three days, the town's population multiplies by 200, making Papillons de Nuit "the largest festival in the smallest place."
This year, the festival offers a diverse lineup, blending renowned artists with emerging talents. Headliners include GIMS, whose hit songs like "Sapés comme jamais" and "Jusqu’ici tout va bien" have become anthems.
Also taking the stage are the duo Ninho & Niska, known for their powerful rap performances, and the sophisticated Julien Doré.
Other performers include the emotive Eddy de Pretto, the eccentric Philippe Katerine, the delicate Barbara Pravi, the energetic Deluxe, the soulful Ben Mazué, reggae band Dub Inc, the charismatic BBNO$, as well as innovators Nova Twins and HorsegiirL. Notably, the group Astéréotypie, composed of artists with autism, offers a unique musical experience.
Papillons de Nuit is not just a festival; it's a symbol of unity and cultural exchange, where everyone can find something to love.
