Nestival

A 48-hour musical world tour

Nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees, on the banks of the Neste river, Nestival is a small festival with a big heart that offers a 48-hour musical world tour every July. Proudly proclaiming itself as 'the biggest of the small Pyrenean festivals', Nestival has maintained a pioneering artistic direction since its inception, mixing traditional, tropical, electronic, afrobeat, and rock music in an eclectic and daring program.

Les Ocybelles: an exceptional natural setting

The festival takes place at Les Ocybelles, a natural area located between Nestier and Saint-Laurent-de-Neste, on the banks of the Neste river. This site offers an enchanting setting with a natural swimming area accessible to festival-goers, shaded banks, and a breathtaking view of the Pyrenees. The free camping on site allows for a full festival experience immersed in nature.

A pioneering program

Each edition of Nestival offers an eclectic and demanding program that showcases musical discoveries. Artists from all over the world perform on the festival stages: zouk, afrobeat, tropical music, electro, rock, and traditional music create a unique sonic journey. The 2025 edition notably featured Fulu Miziki (Democratic Republic of Congo), Bacchantes, Boombastikas, and many other pioneering artists from the global music scene.
