Ultravirage
The electronic music festival taking over Grenoble's stadiums
About Ultravirage
Ultravirage is an electronic music festival created in 2024 in Grenoble by the collective The DARE Night (TDN), a major player in the Grenoble electronic scene since 2010. The festival transforms emblematic venues in the city — Stade des Alpes and later Palais des Sports — into epicenters of electronic culture. Featuring international headliners, French talents, and local artists, Ultravirage offers three days of techno, house, breaks, and acid music across multiple stages, complemented by conferences (TDN Talks) and afterparties in Grenoble's clubs.

A Stadium Transformed into an Electro Temple
Born in 2024 from the ambition of the collective The DARE Night (TDN), Ultravirage is an electronic music festival that takes over monumental venues in the heart of Grenoble to transform them into true sound arenas. The concept is bold: occupy sports facilities — the Stade des Alpes for the first two editions, then the legendary Palais des Sports from 2026 onwards — and present a cutting-edge program blending techno, house, breaks, acid, and experimental music.
The DARE Night: Fifteen Years of Electronic Culture
Behind Ultravirage is the collective TDN — The DARE Night, founded in 2010 in Grenoble. In fifteen years of existence, TDN has established itself as a key player in the regional electronic scene, organizing events in all the city's emblematic venues and regularly extending its reach to Lyon, Valence, Chambéry, and Paris. The collective has helped launch artists who are now international references, including I Hate Models, Soichi Terada, Anetha, and Marc Rebillet. Ultravirage represents the natural culmination of this journey, a large-scale festival rooted in the Alpine territory.
A Program Balancing Global Headliners and Local Discoveries
Each edition of Ultravirage curates a resolutely eclectic lineup within electronic music. The first edition in 2024 hosted Helena Hauff, Mall Grab, The Hacker, Soichi Terada, Cera Khin, KETTAMA, and DJ Physical. In 2025, the festival continued its rise with Miss Kittin, Helena Hauff, Pablo Bozzi, Nikki Nair, LB aka Labat, Chlär, Rhyw, and Bullet Tooth & Capo Lee. The third edition in 2026 notably announces Brodinski, Héctor Oaks, Ceephax Acid Crew, DJ Stingray 313, Oxia, Soichi Terada, Teki Latex, Patrick Mason, and MCR-T.
More Than a Festival: A Week of Electronic Culture
Ultravirage goes beyond a simple musical event. Leading up to the festival, TDN Talks offers several days of conferences, round tables, and workshops exploring electronic culture from all angles: programming, inclusion, health, political engagement, and the challenges of the nightlife industry. The evenings then continue in Grenoble's emblematic clubs — L'Ampérage, Le Drak-Art, and La Belle Électrique — with Ultravirage By Night, afterparties featuring a complementary lineup to keep the city buzzing all night long.
Ultravirage — edition 2026

After two memorable editions at the Stade des Alpes, Ultravirage takes a leap forward by inaugurating the Palais des Sports de Grenoble for the first time, from April 3 to 5, 2026. This legendary venue, which hosted the 1968 Olympic Games, offers an exceptional setting for three days of electronic fever.
The lineup promises to match the ambition with major names from the international scene: Brodinski, an essential figure of French electro, Héctor Oaks, a pillar of Berlin techno, Ceephax Acid Crew, an acid genius, DJ Stingray 313, a legend of Detroit electro, Oxia, a renowned French producer, Soichi Terada, a Japanese master of house, and Teki Latex.
The lineup is completed by Patrick Mason, MCR-T, Mall Grab, KETTAMA, Miss Kittin, LB aka Labat, Pablo Bozzi, Blaame, Binary Digit, Lacchesi, The Hacker, Cera Khin, DJ Physical, Charleeps, De Grandi, Mezigue, Mogan, Stef De Haan, Tatie Dee, Yambow & Chris Sam, and Yoni Yon.
