Festival de Nîmes 2026 returns to the majestic Arènes de Nîmes, one of France’s most breathtaking Roman amphitheatres, for another season of unforgettable open-air concerts beneath the southern stars. Each summer, this ancient arena — dating back nearly two thousand years — transforms into one of Europe’s most unique live music stages, where world-renowned artists perform in front of thousands of passionate fans surrounded by history, elegance, and Mediterranean warmth.
Since its creation in 1997, Festival de Nîmes has become a cornerstone of France’s live music calendar, blending timeless architecture with modern sound and spectacle. Its atmosphere is unlike any other: the stone arches echo with guitars, pianos, and voices that have defined generations. Every performance feels intimate yet monumental — a celebration of artistry in one of the most stunning venues in the world.
The 2026 edition promises a vibrant and eclectic line-up, uniting rock icons, pop legends, and contemporary French favourites. Confirmed acts include Feu! Chatterton and Benjamin Biolay (14 June), Sabaton (17 June), Jamiroquai (2 July), Sting (6 July), Pixies (7 July), Marilyn Manson (8 July), Béjart Ballet Lausanne (10 July), Katy Perry (11 July), Lorde (13 July), Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (14 July), Christophe Maé (17 July), Gims (21 July), and OrelSan, who will perform two special nights on 22 and 23 July. This stellar mix of international stars and French luminaries showcases the festival’s dedication to diversity and excellence across genres.
Beyond the music, Nîmes offers visitors a truly immersive experience. The city’s sun-drenched streets, Roman heritage sites, and Provençal charm make it the perfect backdrop for summer nights filled with rhythm and emotion. With its blend of world-class performances, historical grandeur, and Mediterranean atmosphere, Festival de Nîmes 2026 promises another season of timeless concerts — where ancient stones meet modern sound in a celebration of culture that only France can deliver.

Isle of Wight Festival 2025: An Iconic Musical Celebration
Isle of Wight Festival 2026 returns to Seaclose Park, Newport from 18–21 June 2026, bringing four sun-chasing days of music, colour and classic British festival spirit to the Island. As you sail across the Solent and see the site rise beyond the treeline, the holiday feeling kicks in — then the music does the rest.
Founded in 1968 and reborn in 2002, the festival’s legend stretches from the countercultural heyday (Hendrix, The Doors, The Who) to today’s arena-ready stars. Recent editions set the bar with Sting, Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake headlining 2025 — a reminder that IOW blends icons with contemporary heavy hitters and discovery across its stages. Expect 2026’s line-up to be revealed closer to summer, with the same mix of heritage and now.
The atmosphere is effortlessly welcoming — families, friend crews and first-timers mingling across meadows and riverside paths. Food villages thread local favourites with global street-food, craft bars clink through golden hour, and crowd-pleasing production delivers big singalong moments after dark. With around 55,000 festivalgoers each year, it’s large enough to feel electric yet compact enough to wander between highlights with ease.
Building on 2025’s momentum, Isle of Wight’s most recent edition topped the bill with Sting, Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake, with heavyweight support from Faithless (closing Friday), The Script, Jess Glynne, Busted, Texas, Olly Murs, Alison Moyet, Clean Bandit, Example, James, Paul Heaton ft. Rianne Downey, plus crowd-pleasers like The Corrs, Amy Macdonald, Razorlight, The Saw Doctors, Supergrass, Yard Act and English Teacher — a snapshot of the festival’s mix of legacy icons and current chart heroes that sets a high bar for 2026’s reveal.
Stay under canvas in the main campsites or upgrade to Boutique Camping for pre-pitched bell tents, tipis and lodges with hot showers, pamper parlours and 24-hour reception — ideal if you want a little luxury between late nights and lake-side mornings. Off-site options range from B&Bs to seafront hotels if you prefer a quiet reset away from the arena.
Getting there is part of the fun. Foot passengers can zip from Southsea on the hovercraft or sail from Portsmouth/Southampton and connect straight onto festival shuttle buses to Newport; drivers can bring the car on Wightlink or Red Funnel ferries and follow the signed routes to parking by the campsites. Services run frequently across the weekend, with late-night shuttles keeping the island moving till the small hours.￼
With early birds snapped up and general sale due later in the year, now’s the time to rally the crew, plan your crossing and picture that first chorus breaking over Seaclose Park. Isle of Wight Festival 2026 is a postcard summer weekender: rich history, easy logistics, and big shared moments beneath a Suffolk-pink sky — only this one’s on an island.
