Limoges hosts electronic music for a unique night

An Unprecedented Electronic Night at the Zénith of Limoges

On Friday, December 19, 2025, Limoges’ music scene pulsed to the beat of electronic music during the highly anticipated Lovely Xmas Party. Nearly 4,000 enthusiasts gathered at the Zénith for an exceptional night, marking an important milestone for the city, which is rarely associated with major electronic events.

A Smooth Opening with Elfigo

From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was one of discovery. The young prodigy Elfigo, only 14 years old and already noticed at the Élysée the day before, kicked off the festivities. His calm and masterful set captivated a still sparse but curious audience. His performance, praised for its seriousness and focus, set the tone for an evening that promised to be gradual and unifying.

The French Touch in the Spotlight: Cassius and Étienne de Crécy

The arrival on stage of the French legends Cassius followed by Étienne de Crécy changed the atmosphere completely. The classics of the French Touch hit the mark, gathering on the dance floor a mostly adult crowd aged between 25 and 45. For many, seeing these artists in Limoges was a rare event, turning the night into a truly exceptional occasion.

The Avener: A Unifying Set

The Avener continued this momentum with an accessible set that brought together all generations present. From the first notes of iconic tracks like “One More Time,” euphoria took over the room: arms raised, choruses sung in unison, and phones held high to capture this moment of musical unity.

Mosimann and Elfigo: Live Transmission

The highlight of the evening comes with Mosimann. A true showman, he engages repeatedly with the audience and invites Elfigo to join him on stage for a deeply emotional moment. Under the spotlights of the packed Zénith, the young DJ receives a well-deserved ovation in an authentic sequence that perfectly symbolizes the intergenerational transmission inherent to electronic culture.

Matt Sassari and PACT: A Participative Finale

After this peak of energy, Matt Sassari takes over with a solid set that maintains the intensity until the final hours. But it is the PACT collective — bringing together Joris Delacroix, Joachim Pastor, and Teho — that offers an unprecedented surprise: several spectators are invited on stage to operate the machines alongside the DJs. This initiative breaks the traditional codes of electronic live performance and transforms the night’s end into a memorable participatory experience.

An Engaged Audience and a Warm Atmosphere

The event demonstrated that Limoges knows how to respond when offered an ambitious lineup. The full venue, the respectful atmosphere, and the audience’s involvement testify to a genuine local enthusiasm for this type of event. A few days before the year-end holidays, this Lovely Xmas Party allowed participants to celebrate Christmas a little early in a warm and inclusive atmosphere.

Limoges: A New Territory for Electro?

This unique night will be remembered as the one where Limoges proudly welcomed electronic music. With international headliners, promising young talents, and participatory initiatives, all the elements came together to make the city resonate in harmony with the greatest electronic capitals.
