The Festival

Rugby during the day, Rugby party spirit at night!
Come & enjoy live music bands and top DJ’s

Every year during the tournament we have an evening programme with live music and DJ’s.  The Festival consists of now 3 Stages playing different music genres.

Our “MAES Stage” and “DESPERADOS stage “will be open the whole weekend from Friday until Sunday.
The third stage, “THE MORT SUBITE Stage” will open on Saturday and Sunday.
These 3 stages will bring a variety of music that will appeal to every rugby player and visitor.
