Bricks Festival

What Bricks Festival does

Bricks Festival is an electronic music festival company founded in 2021 and based in Toulouse, Occitanie, France. The company operates a single annual core product — for 2025 rebranded as "Bricks Odyssey" — an itinerant multi-event festival featuring House, Techno, and Hard Techno genres, staged at three distinct non-traditional venues across the Occitanie region: Poney Club at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (June 13, headlined by James Hype), Ginette Plage beach club in Le Barcarès (June 21, headlined by Jamie Jones), and an unnamed Toulouse warehouse for the Interference event (September 13, co-produced with ReVolt and Sara Landry). The 2025 edition marks the festival's 5th and first year adopting a traveling format, replacing the previous single-venue model at Parc de la Mounède.

The underlying technology stack is minimal and non-proprietary: the festival runs on a WordPress website with embedded Instagram content, uses Google Forms for volunteer applications and project proposals, and outsources ticketing entirely to the Shotgun platform with a parallel Pass Culture distribution channel for French cultural credit holders. There is no bespoke software, no mobile application, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

The business model is straightforward festival economics. Revenue is generated primarily through ticket sales distributed via Shotgun, with a secondary affiliate channel via an ambassador program that offers 10% discounts to referred attendees and 10% commission to referrers. The festival targets electronic music enthusiasts in Southern France, with secondary audiences of festival volunteers and creative vendors recruited through an open call for projects. The company is privately held, founder-operated, employs 7 people, has no disclosed funding, and reports no financial metrics publicly.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves2 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Solidays: Major Paris-based music festival combining electronic, hip-hop, and rock genres with strong brand cachet and large audiences. Broader incumbent operating at significantly larger scale but competing for the same French live-music attendee pool.
• Garorock: Major multi-genre French music festival (electronic, rock, hip-hop) based in Marmande, southwestern France. Broader incumbent in the same Occitanie/adjacent region with a much larger footprint and budget, competing for the same regional audience.
• Les Eurockéennes de Belfort: Long-established French multi-genre festival featuring electronic acts alongside rock and pop. Larger-scale incumbent with similar electronic programming relevant to Bricks' positioning in the French festival circuit.

Direct peers

• La Crème Festival: French electronic music festival featuring house and techno with international headliners. Comparable mid-size electronic event targeting a similar French audience demographic and tier of headliner talent.
• Nuits Sonores: Long-running Lyon-based electronic and independent music festival with strong house/techno programming. Comparable in genre focus, multi-venue city format, and cultural positioning as a curated French electronic event.
• Electrobeach: Electronic dance music festival held annually in Port-Barcarès, only ~10km from Bricks' Ginette Plage beach venue. Directly comparable in genre (house/techno), audience (French electronic fans), and regional geography — Bricks' beach event is effectively a scaled-down response to Electrobeach.
• Marvellous Island: French electronic music festival held near Paris featuring house and techno programming with international headliners. Direct competitor for the same touring-artist circuit and French electronic festival audience.
• Positiv Festival: Electronic music festival held in Lyon, France with house and techno programming. Comparable mid-size electronic festival targeting a similar French audience and headliner pool as Bricks.
• Peacock Society: Paris-based electronic music festival (house, techno) targeting a similar young, urban French audience. Comparable in scope, headliner-tier, and one-weekend format, though operated at larger scale and in a different region.

Emerging players

• Defected Records (events): Global house music label that runs branded live events and festival stages. Comparable as a curated electronic music experience brand, though larger and globally distributed rather than regional.
