F'Estivada 2026 — 4th Edition
The 4th edition of F'Estivada will be held from July 16th to 18th, 2026, at the Haras de Rodez. Twelve national and international artists will perform over three nights of open-air concerts in the heart of the Aveyron prefecture.
Three headliners, one each night
Louane kicks things off on Thursday, July 16th, followed by Matt Pokora on Friday, July 17th, and global dancehall star Sean Paul, who will close the festival on Saturday, July 18th. Joining them are Boulevard des Airs, Zaho, KeBlack, Bianca Costa, Elfigo, Philippine Lavrey, Brö, Sandy Sax, and La Déryves.
A redesigned venue for this edition
The organizers have reconfigured the Haras site: the areas for people with reduced mobility and partners are now positioned directly facing the stage, while the refreshment stands have been moved to the sides. Over 10,000 people are expected each night, and Saturday's show is already sold out.
The festival is organized by the City of Rodez, with the support of volunteers, local associations, and businesses.

F'Estivada: the summer festival in Rodez
Since its creation in 2023, F'Estivada has established itself as the unmissable musical event of the summer in Rodez. Located in the prestigious setting of the Haras de Rodez, a former national stud farm that the City acquired in 2022, the festival offers a unique backdrop for three evenings of open-air concerts, in the heart of the Aveyron prefecture.
A national-level program
F'Estivada focuses on an eclectic and ambitious program, mixing national headliners and rising artists. The first edition (2023) laid the groundwork for a large-scale musical event. The 2024 edition confirmed its success with Mika, Slimane, Matt Pokora, Olivia Ruiz, Mentissa, Loïc Nottet, Hervé, Alice et Moi, and many other artists. The 2025 edition brought together Bob Sinclar, Pierre Garnier, Mc Solaar, Trinix, and Styleto.
An exceptional site: the Haras de Rodez
The Haras de Rodez, located on rue Vieussens in the city center, is a remarkable architectural heritage. This open-air space, near the event hall, offers generous capacity and ideal natural acoustics for concerts. Each summer, the site transforms into a true festival village with a stage, bars, food trucks, and relaxation areas.
A festive and family atmosphere
F'Estivada is distinguished by its friendly and accessible atmosphere. The festival attracts a wide audience, from families to concert lovers, united by the pleasure of music under the Aveyron stars. On-site catering highlights local products, and careful organization allows everyone to fully enjoy the shows in a safe and pleasant environment.
