Electronic and instrumental experiences in an organic setting
About Loire's Ondes
Loire's Ondes: The Electronic and Instrumental Festival of Pays d'Ancenis
Since 2018, the Loire's Ondes festival has established itself as a must-attend event for the electronic and instrumental music scene in Loire-Atlantique. Founded by a group of music-loving friends united within the AFLO association (Association Festival Loire's Onde), the event celebrates music, art, and the Loire region with strong values of sharing, proximity, and generosity.
A History Rooted in the Territory
The first edition took place on March 31, 2018, at the Espace Alexandre Gautier in Varades (commune of Loireauxence), featuring five local groups — The Fabulist, Les Si Music'all, Charly Blues, Graceful, and Mr Cornelius — for a free evening with a pop, rock, and electro vibe. The festival then evolved to be held in the prestigious courtyard of the Château d'Ancenis, where for several years it hosted an increasingly ambitious program mixing jazz, funk, house, and techno. In 2025, Loire's Ondes took a new step by leaving the castle to move to the Parc de Sculptures Monumentales de Mouzeil-Teillé, a wild and mystical setting offering an even more immersive three-day experience with camping.
An Eclectic Program Between Electro and Instrumental
Each edition offers a carefully selected program, blending local talents and artists recognized for their uniqueness. The festival highlights the best of the local jazz, funk, and house scene while opening up to diverse musical horizons:
- Electronic Music: deep house, tech house, techno, dub
- Instrumental Music: jazz, funk, afro, pop funk
- Live sets and DJ sets in a natural and intimate setting
Among the artists who have marked past editions: St Germain, Nu Guinea, Chaos in the CBD, Laurence Guy, Murphy, Bambi, Tom Leclerc, Flora, Chyneski, Hyper Jacuzzi, Fasme, Ireke, and Jay Airiness.
Art, Crafts, and Conviviality
Beyond music, Loire's Ondes celebrates art in all its forms. A space for exchange hosts local artists and craftspeople in the afternoon who share their creations: flowers, textiles, design, illustrations. Food trucks and a bar complete the offering for a full festive experience. The Heron, the festival's iconic mascot, symbolizes the deep connection between the event and its Loire region territory.
A New Chapter in the Heart of Nature
Since 2025, the festival has reinvented itself by moving to the Parc de Sculptures Monumentales, located on the border between Mouzeil and Teillé. This green setting, populated by monumental outdoor sculptures, offers a unique natural and artistic backdrop for three days of music, with camping included in the festival pass. The format has been enriched with programming from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, including themes like the Solstice (2025) and dedicated days like the Full Dub Day.
Loire's Ondes — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Loire's Ondes festival will take place from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5, 2026 at the Parc de Sculptures Monumentales in Mouzeil-Teillé (Loire-Atlantique). Three days of electronic and instrumental experiences in an organic setting, with camping included in the pass. The 2026 lineup unveiled by the organization includes: Will Guthrie, Hanaka, Bandicoot Hifi, Flora, Téléphone Kale, Adhémar, Slimewestern, and a total of about twenty artists. HelloAsso ticketing is open (early bird sold out, regular price currently available).
2026 Edition — The Heron's Return to the Sculpture Park
The Loire's Ondes festival returns for its new edition from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5, 2026 at the Parc de Sculptures Monumentales located between Mouzeil and Teillé, 30 km northeast of Nantes. After the success of Solstice 2025 in this exceptional natural setting, AFLO confirms the three-day format with camping included, from Friday 8 PM to Sunday 5 PM.
The Heron, the festival's emblematic mascot, returns «transformed by its journey» to guide festival-goers towards the Loirezondian vibe.
