The first 100% electronic festival in Ardèche
The Ardèche Électronique Festival (AEF) marks the arrival of an unprecedented event in the Ardèche festival scene: a festival entirely dedicated to electronic music. Scheduled for its first edition on June 13, 2026, in the Parc de Vals-les-Bains, the AEF aims to create a unique immersive experience in the heart of the Ardèche nature.
A high-level lineup
For this inaugural edition, the festival is banking on an ambitious lineup:
- International DJs: Igor Blaska and Ralph, regulars on the stages of Tomorrowland, Ibiza, Miami, and Las Vegas
- Emerging artists: 304K, Arno, and Deerage
- Powerful sound system for a professional quality sound experience
- Immersive light show specially designed for the event
An enchanting natural setting
The choice of the Parc de Vals-les-Bains as the festival's backdrop is no accident. The spa town, nestled in the heart of the Volane valley, offers an exceptional natural setting. The festival features an enchanted forest decor that will enhance the park's site, creating a magical atmosphere between nature and electronic music.
An electro-festive atmosphere
From 6 PM to 1 AM, festival-goers can enjoy an electro-techno evening in an atmosphere guaranteed to be worthy of Tomorrowland. The scheduled DJs have performed in the biggest clubs in the world, including MAD Club in Switzerland (ranked 47th best club worldwide), in Ibiza, Las Vegas, South Africa, and Thailand. The AEF promises a memorable first edition that could well become a must-attend event on the electronic scene in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Festival-goer reviews
2.0/5 (1 reviews)Très déçu par le festival. Trop de blabla pdt les sets des différents djs. Même si c'était une première édition les playlists n'étaient pas a la hauteur avec énormément de reprises de chanteurs des années 90. L'endroit était plutôt sympa et la ville très agréable. Nous étions trois et nous ne ferons pas le festival l'année prochaine dommage.
