Les Estivales des Arènes: A New Festival in a Mythical Venue
Launched in 2025 by the town of Parentis-en-Born, the Les Estivales des Arènes festival marks the birth of a major new music event in the Landes region. The choice of venue is bold and symbolic: the Roland Portalier arenas, built in 1927, offer a unique architectural setting steeped in history to host today's sounds.
A Young and Sunny Program
Les Estivales des Arènes offers a program resolutely focused on contemporary music:
- Electronic Music: DJ sets and live performances by artists from the French and international electro scene
- Pop and Disco: Festive and danceable atmospheres under the stars
- Local Artists: Bands and regional ensembles to anchor the festival in its territory
Top-Tier Headliners
From its very first edition in 2025, the festival made a strong impact with artists such as Synapson, DJ Bakermat, and Flore Benguigui. The 2026 edition confirms the ambition with a lineup including Polo & Pan, Cerrone (international disco legend), Tony Romera, Amor, Mandragora, the Banda Lous Pegaillouns, and Balpores.
The Roland Portalier Arenas: A Historic Gem
The Parentis-en-Born arenas were built in 1927 by the mayor at the time. An emblematic venue in local life, they usually host bullfighting events and cultural gatherings. Their transformation into an open-air concert hall offers incomparable acoustics and atmosphere, with the capacity to host several thousand spectators in a covered and secure setting.
Three Days of Celebration
The festival spans three days in early July, with musical evenings from Friday to Sunday. Each day offers a distinct program, allowing festival-goers to tailor their experience according to their musical preferences. Day passes and multi-day passes are available to suit all budgets.
