The curtain rises on the ÀLAFOLIE festival program! Once again, this year's edition features a wide range of musical styles and genres, so that everyone can find the perfect evening!
Every Saturday evening from July 18 to August 29, 2026, you'll be treated to an eclectic mix of music and exceptional architecture, for a series of unique musical evenings as night falls.

On the program:

Jazz, folk, French chanson, pop, rock or world music, the ÀLAFOLIE! stage is open to emerging artists as well as big names. Discover the programmed artists!

- July 18 - Birds On A Wire (folk, world music)
Rosemary Standley and Dom La Nena form an enchanting duo, combining spellbinding vocals and delicate cello. Over the past twelve years, they have gracefully revisited repertoires from near and far, from Leonard Cohen to Jacques Brel, from Pink Floyd to Violeta Parra. Their new album, Nuées ardentes, explores adolescence through cult tunes (Bronski Beat, The Cure, The Doors), alongside Italian baroque arias and traditional Latin American songs. A duo offering a free and delicate repertoire off the beaten track!

- July 25 - Joseph Arthur (folk rock)
Alone with his guitar and effects pedals, Joseph Arthur constructs swirling live melodies that alternate electric flights with stripped-down moments of rare intensity. Spotted by Peter Gabriel, this multifaceted artist, painter and musician has released some fifteen albums and collaborated with some of the greats (Ben Harper, Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam, Peter Buck of R.E.M.).

- August 1 - Estelle Perrault Quintet (jazz)
A critically acclaimed young Franco-Taiwanese singer, Estelle Perrault's third album Promises is a delightful blend of jazz, soul and R'n'B. Surrounded by a quintet of talented musicians, including American pianist Rob Clearfield, she reveals a warm mezzo-soprano voice and fully asserts her identity as a singer-songwriter.

- August 8 - Lina_ & Marco Mezquida (fado)
LINA_, a leading figure in today's fado, has a deep, expressive voice that carries all the melancholy and passion of the Portuguese tradition. Opposite her, Spanish virtuoso pianist Marco Mezquida displays a spectacular capacity for improvisation. Together, they push back the boundaries of Fado with their album O Fado, where tradition and reinvention meet!

- August 15 - Richard Galliano (jazz)
Fellow musician Astor Piazzolla, collaborator with Chet Baker, Charlie Haden and Claude Nougaro, Richard Galliano presents Passion Galliano, an exceptional recital spanning his fifty-year career. From his own compositions to Piazzolla's unforgettable pieces and the great French standards, he celebrates all music with his "Steinway à bretelles".

- August 22 - TELEGRAPH (rock)
With a debut album, over 5 million listens and 200 concerts to their credit, Telegraph are part of a new wave of artists cut out for the stage. Their songs "Down in the River" and "Back to my Roots" reflect the demands of a generation in search of social justice, equality and ecology. In 2026, the band takes an artistic turn: a modern, nervous and cathartic rock that explores the torments of mental health, resilience and the rage to exist.

- August 29 - Zélie (pop chanson) + DJ Alor (electro)
Zélie, a 23-year-old pop revelation, sings and dances her strength and dominant sensibility to energizing songs with an electronic sound. An emerging figure on the current French scene, she presents her new album Le cœur et sa dictature in an explosive show fusing contemporary dance, hip-hop and cutting-edge pop.
The evening continues with DJ Alor, a pioneer of electronic music in France since the late 1990s, for a unique performance in which movement, sound and space interact freely!
