The Cercle Festival 2026 is back with an edition unlike any other. After selling out in 2024, the festival will take place from May 22–24, 2026 at the French National Air and Space Museum. The venue is visually stunning and deeply connected to global aviation history.
A historic and iconic location
The site features the Ariane 5 rocket, the Airbus A380, and two legendary Concorde jets. In 1919, it hosted the first commercial flights to Brussels and London. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh completed his historic non-stop transatlantic flight here. Since 1937, the museum has preserved Paris’s first air terminal. Today, it houses over 350 aircraft, satellites, rockets, and aviation artifacts.
Cercle as a global artistic movement
Cercle is more than a festival. It represents a global artistic movement that includes Cercle Shows, Cercle Records, and the new Cercle Odyssey project. The movement pushes the boundaries of immersive musical experiences, combining innovation, aesthetics, heritage, and community. Over the past decade, visionary artists have performed in iconic locations worldwide. Notable examples include Ben Böhmer in Cappadocia, Boris Brejcha at the Grand Palais, and FKJ at Salar de Uyuni, plus more than thirty events at UNESCO World Heritage sites.
2026 lineup and weekend schedule
The 2026 lineup includes 44 artists from 19 countries, with strong representation from contemporary French talent. Friday opens with experimental sounds and refined club energy. Saturday features melodic sets, high-impact live performances, and internationally acclaimed artists. Sunday closes the festival with atmospheric performances, exclusive b2b sets, and highly anticipated shows. The three-day schedule balances diverse genres and artistic visions.
Iconic stages and immersive experiences
The festival’s three stages — Ariane 5, Airbus A380, and the Concorde jets — transform the museum into a unique playground. Each stage plays an active role in the festival’s storytelling. Music, heritage, and artistic innovation merge to create a fully immersive experience.

All Phase 1 tickets sold out instantly. Phase 2 opens on December 3, with day passes at €90 and three-day passes at €270. Pre-registration on the official website ensures early access.
