About Pelouses Électroniques
Pelouses Électroniques: Open-Air Electronic Party
Pelouses Électroniques is the electronic component of the musical weekend organized by the Contre-temps festival (Dodekazz association) at the Jardin des Deux Rives in Strasbourg. Since their inception, they have formed a complementary duo with Pelouses Sonores: Saturday is dedicated to DJ sets, and Sunday to live concerts.
A Demanding and Diverse Musical Selection
The programming of Pelouses Électroniques reflects the diversity of current electronic music. Invited DJs and selectors explore a wide spectrum of genres: house, UK garage, techno, breakbeats, minimal, deep house, new beat, and experimental sounds. The festival gives pride of place to local collectives — Dodekazz, Clubbin'House, Subtronic, Flashball — while also inviting artists from the national and international scene.
A Format Designed for the Outdoors
The concept is simple and effective: a stage set up in the park, endless lawns for lounging and dancing, a refreshment stand, and food trucks for refreshments, all within the green and soothing setting of the Jardin des Deux Rives. The event starts in the mid-afternoon to enjoy the sun and continues until nightfall, offering a magical transition between daylight and dusk over the Rhine.
An Inclusive and Free Event
True to the spirit of the Contre-temps festival, Pelouses Électroniques is free and open access, making this event accessible to everyone — families, students, clubbers, and newcomers alike. The atmosphere, far from the dark club scene, emphasizes conviviality, natural light, and the joy of dancing outdoors, barefoot on the grass by the Rhine.
This event is part of the larger Contre-temps festival, which in 2025 celebrates its 20th edition with two weeks of musical programming in Strasbourg.
Pelouses Électroniques — edition 2026
Les Pelouses Électroniques return on Saturday, June 6, 2026, to the Jardin des Deux Rives in Strasbourg for an afternoon of free open-air DJ sets at exactly 124 BPM. From 3 PM to 10 PM, seven DJs from the Strasbourg scene and Parisian guests will make the lawns vibrate with house, techno, UK garage, breakbeat, and minimal, as part of the previews for the Contre-temps 2026 festival (21st edition).
Pelouses Électroniques 2026 — an afternoon at 124 BPM by the Rhine
For this 2026 edition, Pelouses Électroniques will once again take place at the Jardin des Deux Rives in Strasbourg, on Saturday, June 6, from 3 PM to 10 PM. Seven DJs and collectives will explore the entire spectrum of current electronic music — house, techno, UK garage, 2-step, breakbeat, minimal, and bass music — in a green setting open to all, with free admission.
A stage at exactly 124 BPM
The concept remains true to the spirit of the Contre-temps festival: a stage set up in the park, endless lawns, on-site bar and street food, and a security team dedicated to ensuring a party space free from violence or discrimination. The event starts in the mid-afternoon to enjoy the sun and continues until nightfall, in the characteristic luminous transition of the Jardin des Deux Rives by the Rhine.
