While Hellfest is getting ready to welcome extreme music lovers to Clisson, another unusual and funny event got people talking this weekend: Slipfest! A meeting that all rednecks appreciate with 10,000 participants who played the game.
With Slipfest, awaken the redneck in you!
In a few days, from June 19th to June 22nd, 2025, Clisson will be the center of the metal world with a new edition of Hellfest. Even though the metal music festival caused controversy with this new feature decided by the organizers, fans of this kind of music will be there as every year.
In the meantime, another festival has been making waves this weekend of May 24 and 25, 2025. We suggest you go for a trip to the Les Nantais guinguette located in Saint-Herblain, near Nantes, for Slipfest!
This was the second edition of this rather wild festival which brought together many rednecks who came in kangaroo briefs, mullet cuts, vests and socks/flip-flops! The event's slogan is clearly displayed at the entrance: "Awaken the redneck in you!".
The organizers had planned various activities ranging from the seagull, pig, and rooster cry competition, not forgetting the mullet haircut competition with the presence of Belgian El Gueu, intercontinental mullet champion who took part in the selfie game, and that of Quebecer Johnny Rock, an emblematic figure in the mullet world.
The public was also able to attend fake lookalike and "wet XXS t-shirt on XXL man" competitions. The participants in each competition took to the stage and the audience applauded to elect the winner.
In short, the rule at Slipfest is to not take yourself too seriously! The event attracts both families and groups of friends. For one of the organizers, to be the best in the beaufitude is "that you need a certain letting go, a good mood, a kindness". And all these ingredients were present in Saint-Herblain this weekend.
If you missed this second edition of Slipfest and you want to participate, all that's left to do is cross your fingers that the organizers announce the 2026 edition and let yourself grow a mullet until then.
