Lovely Brive Festival 2026: pop and French chanson in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France
The Lovely Brive Festival takes over the Théâtre de Verdure in Brive-la-Gaillarde, in the Corrèze region, every summer to celebrate Francophone contemporary music. An intimate and welcoming event, it focuses on a diverse programme of chanson à texte and pop for all audiences.
The 2026 edition brings together 14 artists over four days. Headliners Charlotte Cardin, Gaëtan Roussel and Skip The Use embody the variety of a bill that highlights French chanson. Aya Nakamura and Luiza bring their urban flavours.
The festival navigates between pop rock, singer-songwriter, bedroom pop and dance-punk, with a more intimate palette including electropop, sophisti-pop, indie rock and R&B. Suzane, Vanessa Paradis and Zaho complete a resolutely pop and Francophone line-up.
From July 16 to 19, 2026, Brive-la-Gaillarde pulses to the rhythm of contemporary music. Browse the full lineup and book your tickets for this edition celebrating French variety.
