Venoge Festival

At this year’s Venoge Festival, the 26th annual event, which runs from August 17th – 21st, you will see the likes of Iggy Pop, Limp Bizkit, Eagle Eye Cherry, Alphaville, Bob Sinclair plus many more awesome acts!

In the 90s, there was in Penthalaz a branch of the Association of Parents of Students (APE). This association was very active. It is from it that were born, among others, school patrollers, supervised studies and the youth room. These three activities, although they have evolved over time, still live. At the time, several teenagers from Penthalaz had contacted the APE to request the opening of a youth premises. At the same time, in Cossonay, an Open Air stopped. This is where the idea of doing a mini-festival was born; the Rock’n’Air whose profits would be used to finance the first costs of the premises. This first festival had a very favorable echo in the village, it was sunny, it was hot and the success was immediate.
We will remember that the stage was a semi-trailer and that the groups were mainly from the region! With this success, this enthusiasm, these ideas that sprang up on both sides, this friendship that bound us, we thought it would be a shame to stop in such a good way. And this was the birth of the association La Cool’Hisse.
At the end of 2015, the Venoge Festival became independent. The Cool’Hisse separates from her “baby” to focus on other less energy-intensive activities. The Venoge People Association is created with some old and new members.
Twenty-five years later, the Venoge Festival is stronger than ever. And the anniversary celebrated in 2019, as well as previous editions prove its good health and the powerful link woven with the inhabitants and companies of the entire Gros-de-Vaud and Lausanne region.
Twenty-five years are people who leave, others who arrive, new ideas, different personalities and this alchemy makes its evolution surprising and exciting.
The magic still works at the Venoge Festival!
