ARENA Festival

2nd Edition — June 5 and 6, 2026

After the success of its first edition in 2025, the ARENA Festival returns strong for an expanded 2nd edition over two days, on Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6, 2026, still at the Rubanox in Chambéry. The 100% 2000s event in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region confirms its ambition: to become the essential festival for the musical culture of this cult decade.

An enriched lineup over two evenings

The new two-day format significantly expands the artistic roster. The evening of Friday, June 5 features L5, Neg' Marrons, SLaï, Marc-Antoine, Tribal King, FACTOR X, and Génération Boys Band. On Saturday, June 6, it's time for Tragédie, Lucenzo, Sinik, LinkUp, Kayliah, Helmut Fritz, and Papa London. DJ Djam, DJ Deal, and host Charlee Moss provide entertainment between concerts and during after-shows.

More than 20 hours of non-stop music

Each evening follows the same format: doors open at 5 PM with warm-up DJ sets, concerts from 8 PM until midnight, followed by an after-show animated by DJ sets until 2:30 AM in the indoor spaces of the Rubanox. Access to the site is not possible after 11 PM.

Practical Information 2026

The festival remains accessible from 16 years old (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult). The Pass Culture is accepted for 15-20 year olds. Tickets are sold in successive phases with increasing prices: it is therefore highly recommended to book early to benefit from the best rates.
