The festival
Values and commitments
The Hadra Trance Festival is more than a simple music event—it is a space for innovation, experimentation, reinvention, and, most importantly, dreaming about the world of tomorrow.
The Hadra Trance Festival is more than a simple music event—it is a space for innovation, experimentation, reinvention, and, most importantly, dreaming about the world of tomorrow.
With a collective spirit, we gather to experiment and create alternative artistic and organizational models. The Hadra Trance Festival is one of the few major international psytrance festivals operating as a non-profit organization—100% of the festival’s revenues are reinvested into the association’s projects.
Hadra values independence and transparency: supported by nearly 150 volunteers and 4.5 full-time equivalent staff members, the association relies primarily on self-financing (ticket sales, CD sales, membership fees, etc.), covering over 96.5% of its budget through its own resources.
ENVIRONEMENT
We all share a responsibility for ecological challenges. Acknowledging that organizing the Hadra Trance Festival has an environmental impact, we are committed to an eco-responsible transition, rethinking the way we celebrate and party.
KINDNESS & RESPECT
We are all responsible for ensuring the festival runs smoothly. The Hadra Trance Festival must remain free from all forms of oppression—a space for sharing, conviviality, and friendship, where everyone feels safe and welcome.
SOLIDARITY
A culture that is accessible to all and for all—this has been Hadra’s mission since its inception.
OPEN-MINDED
Since settling in the Allier region in 2016, Hadra has built a strong bond with the local community, supported by the Bocage Bourbonnais Community of Communes and the Municipality of Vieure.
