With 24 artists scheduled, this activist festival combines eclectic musical programming and civic engagement, offering three days of concerts, debates, and solidarity actions in a friendly and festive atmosphere, celebrating cultural diversity and humanist values.
The lineup explores all musical currents, from rock to French chanson, passing through hip-hop, reggae, and world music. The festival hosts both established artists and emerging talents, creating a unique intergenerational and intercultural dialogue in Wallonia.

❓FAQ
How do you reach the Ecolys site without a car?
The festival ground cannot be reached by car and there is no public parking in the immediate area. Free shuttles leave from Namur railway station, on Place de la Station at Quai B, on your right as you step out of the building, stopping at Saint-Servais Polyclinique and Saint-Servais Cimetière both ways. The Express E5 bus route between Namur and Nivelles also serves the Rhisnes-Ecolys stop on the N4, less than 100 metres from the entrance.
When does the 2026 edition take place?
Three days, from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 September 2026, at the Ecolys site in Rhisnes. Wristbands can be collected early during the pre-scanning sessions held on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 September.

The Temploux airfield car park opens at 1.30pm on Friday and at 10.30am on Saturday and Sunday, closing at 3am on the first two nights and at 1am on Sunday.

There is no campsite, but motorhomes and converted vans have their own area at Temploux airfield, rue du Capitaine Aviateur Jacquet 44, 5020 Temploux. A pitch costs 40 € for the whole festival and is entirely self-sufficient: no security staff, no hook-ups, no waste disposal. It is sold out for 2026. Car parking at the same location costs 10 € per day booked in advance, with no tickets sold on the spot.

Alongside the Mainstage you will find La Casa, a stage for concerts and giant karaoke sessions run by the FGTB Wallonne and Solidaris, the Urban Village dedicated to hip-hop culture with Namur-based collective Wal'Style and RTBF Tarmac, and Le Phare, a new space for talks and debates on health and social issues. A festival ticket is required to attend the Phare sessions.
What is available for visitors with reduced mobility?
The festival car park has spaces reserved for vehicles displaying an official disabled parking card; they are primarily intended for people able to board and leave a bus without assistance. For 2026, that accessible parking is announced as full.
