34th Edition — 2026 Boreal Edition
Les Vieilles Charrues returns from July 16 to 19, 2026, for its 34th edition, themed around a boreal immersion ("choose your expedition"). The Kerampuilh site in Carhaix-Plouguer will host an exceptional lineup of over 60 artists across four days.
Four musical stages and two entertainment areas
Glenmor, the main 1,000 m² stage, will host international headliners — Katy Perry, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Aya Nakamura, Mika, and Orelsan. Kerouac, the second main stage, will feature artists including Josman, Patrick Watson, Disiz, Yelle, Interpol, Vanessa Paradis, and Miossec. Grall highlights discoveries and emerging artists, while Gwernig, under a big top, is dedicated to world music, Breton music, and folk. The Guinguette, located in front of the castle, and the Esplanade complete the site with DJ sets, karaoke, and performances throughout the day.
A sold-out edition
All four days are sold out: the 34th edition will welcome 280,000 festival-goers, or about 70,000 people per day on the Kerampuilh prairie, with a budget of 22 million euros.
A 100% non-profit festival
Driven by thousands of volunteers, Les Vieilles Charrues embodies a deeply Breton human adventure, founded on inclusion, ecology, and conviviality. It is the largest music festival in France.
