Festivals near Dijon

Capital of the Dukes of Burgundy, Dijon lives at the crossroads of golden stone, vineyards and great food — and its festival season feels the same: human-sized, warm and rooted in the green spaces that ring the city. Right on its doorstep, the Combe à la Serpent park and Lac Kir frame the summer: up in the hills of Corcelles-les-Monts, the Golden Coast Rap Fest. pitches its big late-August rap gathering, while Complètement Barges opens the holidays by the water in early July with its offbeat spirit, where rock rubs shoulders with pop and electronica.

The party spills well beyond the city limits too: in spring, Rock In Bourlon wakes the season up on the guitar side, and further north in Gray, in the Haute-Saône, Rolling Saône blends chanson, electro and French-language headliners — from Stephan Eicher to Djadja & Dinaz. To make sense of this landscape straddling the Côte-d'Or and the Saône valley, FestT works out your FestiScore — how closely a line-up matches your favourite artists — and keeps dates, headliners and ticketing up to date. So the bill made for you stands out at a glance.
