ASM Festival — edition 2026
2026 Edition — 18th Annual Festival
The Les Arts s'en Mêlent festival returns on Friday, May 29th, and Saturday, May 30th, 2026, at the Parc de la Godelinière in Les Landes-Genusson. For this 18th edition, the Art'Zimut association brings together ten artists and two interludes over two nights of contrasting musical vibes, welcoming over 3,500 festival-goers each evening.
Friday, May 29th: Rap, Reggae, and Dub
Doors open at 6:00 PM. Soolking will showcase the second part of "Africa Jungle," an album that hit the top of the French charts, while Black M continues his "La Légende Black" tour. DJ Bens, one of France's most active urban DJs, will bridge the gap to electro, while Parisian duo Jahneration and the six-piece band Dub Silence—touring their album "Equinoxe"—bring the reggae spirit to the night.
Saturday, May 30th: Rock Night
Doors open at 5:30 PM. Matmatah will take the stage accompanied by The Fuzzy Brass Four, the brass section from their anniversary concert at the Accor Arena, to perform new arrangements of their classic hits. The Gascon duo The Inspector Cluzo will present "Less Is More," recorded live in Nashville and mixed by Vance Powell, and F.F.F continues their comeback with "U Scream." Two local bands from the Vendée region round out the lineup: Dynamite Shakers, four musicians averaging 23 years of age with over 400 concerts under their belts, and Future Rupture, a quartet performing original French-language tracks blending pop-rock and electro.
On-site
Camping is free and does not require a reservation, with a dedicated area for vans and motorhomes. DJ sets will run from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and the local youth center will serve breakfast on Sunday morning. Payments are cashless, and entry is free for children under 12.

Les Arts s'en Mêlent: The Musical Celebration of the Vendée Bocage
Born in 2009 from the passion of a handful of volunteers united within the Art'Zimut association, the Les Arts s'en Mêlent festival has established itself as a must-attend event on the Vendée music scene. Every year in May, the Parc de la Godelinière in Les Landes-Genusson transforms into an open-air celebration space, welcoming over 3,500 people per evening over two days of concerts.
An Eclectic and Bold Program
The festival's strength lies in its ability to blend genres and musical universes. From reggae to hip-hop, from electro to pop, including French chanson and rock, each edition curates a lineup that surprises and unites. Over the years, the ASM stage has hosted renowned artists: Eddy de Pretto, Yannick Noah, Martin Solveig, Danakil, Dub Inc, Skip The Use, Matmatah, Mass Hysteria, Petit Biscuit, and Caballero & JeanJass.
A Festival Driven by its Volunteers
Entirely organized by volunteers, the Les Arts s'en Mêlent festival embodies the spirit of association and solidarity. The Art'Zimut association mobilizes 7 board members, about forty active members committed year-round, and over 350 volunteers on the day. This collective energy is felt in the warm welcome extended to festival-goers and the unique atmosphere that prevails on site.
A Rural and Friendly Setting
The Parc de la Godelinière offers an ideal green setting for an open-air festival. Away from the urban hustle, this natural site in Les Landes-Genusson, in the heart of the Vendée bocage in the Pays de Mortagne, allows you to enjoy concerts in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Free camping without reservation, on-site catering, and free entry for children under 12 make ASM an accessible and family-friendly festival.
