World Festival Ambert 2026: rock and world music festival in Ambert, France

A summer gathering in Auvergne, the World Festival Ambert takes over the lake area in Ambert in mid-July to celebrate world music and rock in a natural setting. This free festival blends international headliners with new discoveries, creating a moment of conviviality and musical sharing in the heart of the Livradois-Forez region.

The 2026 edition brings together 10 artists across an eclectic programme. Australian hard rock from Airbourne sits alongside the electronic sounds of Mosimann, while Gaël Faye and Gaëtan Roussel represent the diversity of French chanson.

The programme explores classic rock, house, flamenco and post-punk, with touches of EDM and hard rock. This musical palette reflects the festivals ambition to bring all audiences together around varied sonic discoveries.

From July 16 to 18, 2026, Ambert pulses to the rhythms of world music. Free entry. Join this festive and family-friendly gathering.
