About Foire en Scène
The musical event of the Foire de Châlons
Foire en Scène is the musical festival integrated into the Foire de Châlons-en-Champagne, one of the largest events in the Grand Est region. Every evening for eleven days, top artists perform for free on the Capitole en Champagne stage, offering the public a rich and varied program. The festival has established itself as a must-attend event for live music lovers in Champagne.
A varied and unifying program
The Foire en Scène program mixes big names in French chanson and international variety, current pop-rock artists, and musical discoveries. The festival hosts headliners each year that attract a large and diverse audience. The Carrefour de Stars, a special event evening bringing together several artists for a nostalgic and festive celebration, is one of the most anticipated moments of the fair.
Renowned artists
Over the years, Foire en Scène has hosted many renowned artists: French variety singers, pop-rock bands, international artists, and emerging talents. The 2026 edition promises an exceptional program including Matt Pokora, Bénabar, Christophe Maé, MIKA, Julien Doré, and Feu! Chatterton, as well as a special 80s-90s-2000s evening.
Free and accessible
Access to Foire en Scène concerts is included in the Foire de Châlons entrance ticket, making the festival accessible to the widest possible audience. This relative freeness is one of the event's major assets, allowing tens of thousands of spectators to enjoy quality concerts in a friendly and popular atmosphere.
