Pompidou festival moves to Oise, France; it's free

A multidisciplinary festival from the Centre Pompidou in Paris is relocating to Beauvais and Hermes, France, from May 17 to June 15, 2025, and will be free to the public. The "Hors Pistes" festival, renamed "Hors Champs," will feature exhibitions, performances, cinema, and concerts. This move is due to the Centre Pompidou's closure for renovations. The event aims to highlight rural creation. The festival's inaugural edition, themed "What if we flew away?", will include art installations, film screenings, and outdoor concerts. It will travel to different regions over the next five years.
