Prime For Yound Adults Trial

Organizers of Synthfest France have announced that this year’s event will be held April 17-19 in the Nantes region.

SynthFest France is the leading French gathering dedicated to synthesizers and electronic musical instrument manufacturers. Neither a trade show nor a purely musical festival, SynthFest is described as a “meeting place for synthesizer manufacturers and electronic musical instrument enthusiasts.”

The event will feature exhibitions, masterclasses, concerts, discussions, synth rarities, tutorials and more. As in previous years, the event will also feature a raffle (tombola).

This year’s SynthFest will be held outside the city center at the Fleuriaye Convention Center in Carquefou. Access is available by tram and bus.
