Sunska Reggae Festival

SEE YOU AT MEDOC-ZION!

The Reggae Sun Ska Festival returns to Vertheuil in the Médoc! A bubble of nature in the middle of a vineyard, the festival features reggae, dub, ska, rap and world music. Thousands of reggae, dub, ska, rap and world music fans and epicurean party-goers converge on the Domaine de Nodris to enjoy the sounds of internationally renowned artists, as well as to discover emerging local nuggets. In a good vibes atmosphere, where eco-responsibility and the sharing values of the reggae philosophy reign supreme.

A HIGH-FLYING MUSICAL PROGRAM COMBINING REGGAE, DUB, SKA, RAP AND WORLD MUSIC

On 3 open-air stages, concerts take place day and night in an incredible atmosphere at the Domaine de Nodris: Vertheuil-en-Médoc is the new Kingston for a weekend... The SunSka festival promotes a multi-faceted musical approach and introduces its 60,000 festival-goers to the richness of reggae music and the diversity of world music. Past headliners have included Neg'Marrons, Ziggy Marley, Morcheeba, Alpha Blondy, Jimmy Cliff, Tryo, UB40, Ayo, Java, Massilia Sound System... The 2025 line-up will be unveiled shortly.

LIKE A MEDOCAIN IN ZION

Pine green, sunshine yellow and grape red: aren't the colors of the SunSka Festival a perfect match for the art of living in the Médoc? Between vineyards and ocean, the SunSka Festival is as much a musical interlude as it is a summer wellness bubble, where you can recharge your batteries in an atmosphere full of the good vibes preached by the reggae philosophy.

More than a music festival, it's an immersive experience in the heart of Vertheuil. Here, dancing is collective, singing is communion. A huge SunSka village invites you to continue your encounters and exchanges: sports, conferences, crafts and local producers, as well as a Kids area to enjoy the festival with the whole family...

The party continues in the camping area set up especially for SunSka.

ECO-SUSNSKA: A SUSTAINABLE FESTIVAL, PART OF A PILOT ECO-CITIZEN APPROACH

The SunSka festival is one of the pioneers in eco-responsibility. For 20 years, it has been actively committed to minimizing its impact on the environment. On a local scale, so as not to damage the natural setting of the Médoc that hosts the festival and makes it so unique in the eyes of festival-goers. But also to promote a more global approach to event ecology. This includes waste sorting, the early use of eco-cups, reducing energy costs, promoting local products... This SunSka philosophy, a pioneer in its field, received the “Coup de Coeur” award from the Nicolas Hulot Foundation in 2008!

GOOD VIBES ONLY: DOZENS OF VOLUNTEERS LOOK AFTER YOUR WELL-BEING

The festival is also committed to risk prevention. Its brigade of volunteers roams the site in “operation coup d'main” mode! They raise participants' awareness of the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption, distribute condoms, earplugs and breathalysers, and make sure that no bad behavior spoils the reggae party.
