From Friday August 1 to Sunday August 10, 2025, the Breton city of Lorient will once again live to the rhythm of Celtic music, but also of other musical genres, as the youth of the Celtic countries will be in the spotlight at this 54th edition of the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, under the banner of"Cousins from America".
For those who don't know, the Lorient Interceltic Festival has been the pride of Morbihan since 1971, thanks to a rich and varied program that honors all forms of Celtic music. Every summer in August, groups and artists from Brittany, Scotland, Galicia, Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, Australia and Acadia are invited to perform and share their musical culture with the public.
Considered one of France's biggest festivals in terms of visitor numbers, the Lorient Interceltic Festival has already welcomed a number of international bands, including The Cranberries in 2010 and Texas in 2011. In addition to concerts, the event is also marked by bagpipe competitions and parades, not forgetting the famous 'Grand Spectacle du Festival interceltique de Lorient', which takes place every summer at the Stade du Moustoir, and brings together nearly 500 artists and musicians from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Galicia and, of course, Brittany!
So, who's set to rock this year's Festival Interceltique de Lorient? Who are the artists invited to Brittany this year? Well, this summer, you'll be able to count on the presence of the inimitable and inescapable Alan Stivell, as well as Canadian Lynda Lemay, American group Solas, Spanish singer Luz Casal, Talisk, The Kilkennys, Mary Bergin and Red Cardell! Stay tuned for the rest of the program.
