Fantasy and music are closely linked, particularly through folk and Celtic music, but also in other, maybe more surprising genres. To finish each day of the festival in beauty, come to the concerts, with the best international artists in their genre.

Naheulbeuk Night

Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk (France) is a role-playing parody that started as an audio saga. Immensely popular, it diversified and also became a band, a series of comic books, novels and soon a TV series. This first night will offer concerts of Naheulbeuk and two side projects, Belyscendre and Maigh Tuireadh, as well as the screening of previously never released episodes of the TV series by the Mortal Fight Circus.

Nehl Aëlin (France)

From Trip hop to Jazz, with a touch of neoclassic and gothic atmospheres, the music of Nehl Aëlin is an ode to openness, marked by a perfect voice and an ever-present piano, that have often been compared to Kate Bush and Tori Amos… One of our favourites.
