About La Tête dans le Fion
La Tête dans le Fion — edition 2026
8th edition of La Tête dans le Fion, an entirely free music festival in Saint-Amand-sur-Fion (Marne), on Friday, June 12th and Saturday, June 13th, 2026. Eclectic program on two stages mixing electro, rock, reggae, funk, and indie pop, with No One Is Innocent, Maracujah, Antoine Garrel, Treekong, and about ten other artists. The 2026 edition highlights 'Récup'Art' through stage installations.
An 8th Edition Under the Sign of Récup'Art
For its 2026 edition, La Tête dans le Fion returns on Friday, June 12th and Saturday, June 13th to the village of Saint-Amand-sur-Fion, faithful to its formula: two evenings of free concerts on two stages, supported by a hundred volunteers. This year's artistic theme is 'Récup'Art' — creation and expression from recovered and repurposed materials — which permeates the scenography and installations scattered throughout the village. Visual performers will include Compost Collap's, The Street Dreamers, and Compagnie Titanos.
Two Evenings, Two Stages, Contrasting Aesthetics
Friday, June 12th is dedicated to electronic music with DJs Greysha and Callahan, as well as the indie pop of Antoine Garrel accompanied by Collectif Hexa. Saturday, June 13th switches to live concerts with Slide & The Pocket Connection, Younger Spirit, Treekong (reggae-dub), No One Is Innocent (committed rock), and Maracujah (sunny rhythms) as the closing act.
A 100% Free, Activist, and Eco-Responsible Festival
Free admission remains the festival's DNA, funded by bar sales, food trucks, merchandise, and participatory patronage. The association also continues its eco-responsible approach: selective sorting, reusable cups, fight against food waste, support for local economic actors.

Art in the village
Beyond music, La Tête dans le Fion integrates a visual artistic dimension that varies each year.
