Summer in Marciac: Our pleasure!

“My pleasure!“ In the South-West of France, these are the warm words you hear when one says “Thank you”. And they're more appropriate than ever as we present the 47th edition of Jazz in Marciac which will take place from Monday July 21st to Thursday August 7th. For in our swinging village, pleasure is cultivated, like a flower. It is a pleasure for musicians to see the two familiar steeples of our bastide on the skyline when they come to offer us their talent - many of them have told us so. It's a pleasure for the people of Marciac to welcome them to their village, just as they welcome festival-goers. A pleasure, mixed with a certain pride... And it is with pride and pleasure that the organisers and volunteers do their best to make this an unforgettably convivial festival. So, it is a real pleasure to announce this year’s programme which is generous, prestigious and varied! To name a few, Melody Gardot, Herbie Hancock, Rhoda Scott and Gregory Porter, as well as Santana, Ben Harper and Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin fame. And for good measure, we’re happy to welcome back the great Dee Dee Bridgewater and our godfather, Wynton Marsalis. The faithful Roberto Fonseca will also be with us for a tribute to Ibrahim Ferrer, who first spotted his immense talent. In the wake of Vulfpeck's memorable 2024 concert, Cory Wrong and Joe Dart will set the big top alight with the edgy funk of The Fearless Flyers. Hamilton De Holanda, Egberto Gismonti, Hermeto Pascoal… Brazil, the “eternal country of the future” as Clemenceau once put it, will be making its voice heard several times as part of the France-Brazil cross season. In short, from the Oscar Peterson Centennial Concert to Veronica Swift, not forgetting Salif Keita for an acoustic concert and the techno brass band Meute, the 2025 festival should satisfy the most curious and demanding music fans. Last autumn, a survey highlighted the attachment of the public to Jazz in Marciac: We’re betting that this edition will confirm this feeling. With this conviction, we are already working on an expanded event that will mix eclecticism and quality. Enough to see the arrival of summer in Marciac with even more pleasure!
