Cercle Festival Prepares for France’s 2026 Edition

Cercle is officially gearing up for the third edition of its flagship France festival, scheduled to take place from May 22–24, 2026. The event will once again transform the iconic National Air and Space Museum of France in Le Bourget into a world-class stage for electronic music.

This year, the festival promises an expanded three-day program featuring 44 artists. Performances will be spread across three immersive stages, each uniquely integrated into the museum's historic collection, including the A380 aircraft, the Concorde jets, and the towering Ariane 5 rocket.

The lineup is set to deliver a diverse sonic experience. Friday’s opening day will feature sets from Acid Pauli, Adriatique, ANNA, Carlita, berlioz, Enfant Sauvage, Kerri Chandler, Mind Against, Rodrigo Gallardo, Sammy Virji, KILIMANJARO, Marten Lou, and Arodes.

Saturday continues the momentum with performances by Parra For Cuva, Monolink, Kolsch, ARTBAT, Anfisa Letyago, Étienne de Crécy, Lane 8, DJ Tennis, Kasablanca, Vintage Culture, Kenya Grace, Ginton, LP Giobbi B2B DJ Tennis, Jimi Jules, and Michael Bibi.

The festival will conclude on Sunday with a powerful closing lineup featuring Eric Prydz, Âme B2B Sama’ Abdulhadi, Röyksopp (DJ Set), Yotto, nimino, meera, Anetha, Miss Monique, Ben Böhmer, Funk Tribu, Weval, Deer Jade, Aaron Hibell, Mahmut Orhan, and Thylacine.

Beyond the music, Cercle has announced a significant partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES). A central feature of this collaboration is an immersive space dome, which will host scientific exhibitions, virtual reality installations, and expert panels. In a special highlight, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot is scheduled to open the festival via a recorded address broadcast directly from the International Space Station.

By blending high-concept audiovisual production with the museum's historic architecture, Cercle continues to push the boundaries of the festival experience, turning aviation landmarks into a creative backdrop for modern electronic music.
