About Musical'été
Musical'été: Saint-Dizier's Summer Rendezvous
Since its creation in 2000, the Musical'été festival has set the rhythm for the beginning of summer in Saint-Dizier, in the Haute-Marne department. Organized by the City Hall of Saint-Dizier, this free and family-friendly event offers three evenings of open-air concerts in the heart of the magnificent Parc du Jard, the city's green lung. A rare occurrence in France and even in Europe for a festival of this scale, entry is completely free.
An Eclectic and Multigenerational Program
Musical'été stands out for its eclectic program, designed to appeal to all generations. Each evening is themed and skillfully blends national headliners with new talents to discover. The musical genres represented are varied:
- French Variety and Chanson: artists like Pierre Garnier, Kendji Girac, or Julien Lieb
- Rap and Urban Music: Alonzo, Niro, Soolking, Ridsa
- Pop and Current Music: Luiza, Silda, Marine
- Retro and Festive Evenings: Club Musical'été with hits from the 90s and 2000s
Each evening begins with a DJ set to set the mood, followed by two to three concerts on the main stage.
Parc du Jard: An Exceptional Natural Setting
The festival takes place in the Parc du Jard, a vast green space located on avenue de Belle-Forêt-sur-Marne. This tree-lined park offers an ideal setting for an open-air festival, with large areas to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The 2024 edition brought together nearly 75,000 people over the three days, a record attendance testifying to the popular enthusiasm for the event.
A Festival Rooted in its Territory
Musical'été is much more than just a music festival: it is a unifying event for the entire Haute-Marne and Grand Est region. Supported by the City of Saint-Dizier and its cultural affairs department, it contributes to the city's influence and the animation of local cultural life. The festival also hosts artists from the Champagne-Ardenne region, such as the singer Silda, discovered on The Voice 2023 and originally from Reims.

The 27th edition of Musical'été takes place from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5, 2026 at Parc du Jard in Saint-Dizier. Three evenings of free open-air concerts, with a program mixing headliners and new talents: Ridsa and Soolking on Friday, Silda and Kendji Girac on Saturday, Luiza and Marine on Sunday.

27th Edition — July 3 to 5, 2026
For its 27th edition, Musical'été kicks off the summer season in Haute-Marne with three evenings of free concerts at Parc du Jard. The 2026 program, unveiled by the Saint-Dizier Town Hall, mixes headliners from rap, pop, and French variety, as well as new talents to discover. Each evening opens with a DJ set, followed by two concerts on the main stage.
A Broad Appeal and Multigenerational Lineup
The 2026 edition gives pride of place to urban music and French variety, two genres particularly popular with the family audience that gathers in the park each year. Festival-goers will find, among others, Soolking, an essential figure in French-speaking rap, and Kendji Girac, whose concerts attract all generations. The program also makes room for regional voices and emerging artists such as Silda (revealed on The Voice 2023, originally from Champagne-Ardenne), Luiza (Franco-Brazilian universe), or Marine.
