When electronic music takes over the gardens of Grenoble's heritage
The Musée Électronique Festival is an electronic music event created in 2019 by Le Périscope in the gardens of the Musée Dauphinois in Grenoble. Nestled at the foot of the Bastille cliffs, this open-air festival offers two evenings each summer dedicated to French Touch and electronic music, mixing renowned international artists and local talents. After four sold-out editions, the festival has established itself as a must-attend event on the Grenoble electro scene, offering a unique immersive experience between historical heritage and an open-air dancefloor.
Born in 2019 from the collaboration between Le Périscope, a Grenoble-based show producer, and Olivier Cogne, director of the Musée Dauphinois, the Musée Électronique Festival is the result of a daring idea: to transform the gardens of a listed historical museum into an open-air dancefloor. The initial objective was twofold – to revitalize the museum by attracting a younger audience and to offer Grenoble a major electro event in an exceptional setting. Programmer Robin Direr summarizes the festival's philosophy in one phrase: “Do something elegant but not pretentious.”
The festival takes place in the gardens of the Musée Dauphinois, perched on the heights of Grenoble, at 30 rue Maurice-Gignoux. This remarkable heritage site, a former Visitation convent founded in the 17th century, offers a striking panorama of the city and the Belledonne mountain range. The open-air dancefloor, nestled at the foot of the imposing Bastille cliffs, creates an atmosphere that is both intimate and spectacular. Just a ten-minute walk from the city center, the location combines accessibility and a complete change of scenery, making the Musée Électronique a unique sensory experience where bass resonates under the stars in a mountain setting.
Since its creation, the Musée Électronique has forged a strong artistic identity around the French Touch and the French electronic scene. The first edition in 2019 made a strong impact with Busy P (founder of Ed Banger Records and former manager of Daft Punk), Breakbot, Agoria (a native of Isère and co-founder of Nuits Sonores), and Myd. In 2022, Cerrone, a disco-funk legend, and Joris Delacroix set the gardens ablaze. The 2023 edition highlighted the pioneers of the French Touch with Boombass (from the duo Cassius), Alan Braxe, The Magician, and Yuksek.
The festival also gives an important place to the local Grenoble scene, with collectives like Les Filles de la Sœur, Bernadette B2B & Mogan from the Dare Night collective, and artists from the Isère-based label.
Since its inception, the Musée Électronique has experienced a remarkable upward trajectory. The first edition in 2019 laid the foundations for a unique concept. In 2021 and 2022, the festival confirmed its place in the Grenoble cultural landscape, attracting up to 2,400 spectators per edition. The fourth edition in 2023 was sold out for both nights. After a break in 2024 and 2025, the fifth edition planned for June 2026 marks a highly anticipated return with an exceptional lineup featuring Vitalic and Pedro Winter (Busy P) as headliners.
The Musée Électronique stands out for its intimate format – the evenings run from 7 PM to 1 AM, a time slot designed to reach a wide audience, including young parents. Each edition also offers a selection of local Isère products, food stalls, and bars, transforming the event into a true feast for the senses. The festival benefits from the support of the Department of Isère and is part of the cultural dynamic of Grenoble Alpes Métropole.
Fifth edition of the Musée Électronique Festival in the gardens of the Musée Dauphinois in Grenoble. After a three-year absence, the festival returns on June 12 and 13, 2026, with an exceptional lineup: Vitalic and Pedro Winter (Busy P) as headliners, accompanied by Camille Doe, Olkan & la Vipère Rouge, Mon cher Guy, and Marco del Bosque. Two evenings of open-air electronic music at the foot of the Bastille cliffs.
After three years of absence, the Musée Électronique Festival makes its grand return to the gardens of the Musée Dauphinois on June 12 and 13, 2026. This fifth edition promises two exceptional nights at the foot of the Bastille cliffs, with a lineup that blends legends of the electronic scene and emerging talents.
The first night is headlined by Pedro Winter, better known as Busy P, founder of the Ed Banger Records label and former manager of Daft Punk. A key figure in the French electronic scene, he returns to Musée Électronique after marking the very first edition in 2019. He is accompanied by Camille Doe and the project Olkan & la Vipère Rouge.
The second night promises to be just as explosive with Vitalic, a French artist globally recognized for his powerful electro-rock productions and devastating live performances. Alongside him, Mon cher Guy and Marco del Bosque will complete an eclectic lineup. The names of the local artists opening both nights will be announced later.
The gardens of the Musée Dauphinois are once again transformed into a secret haven, an open-air dancefloor nestled on the slopes of the Bastille cliffs. The exceptional setting of this heritage site, with its panoramic views of Grenoble and the Belledonne mountain range, offers a unique experience where electronic music dialogues with history and nature. Local Isère products, a summer atmosphere, and sunset over the valley complete this sensory immersion.
