The 6th edition of the ISULIA festival will take place from November 5-7, 2026 at the Bordeaux Submarine Base, with 2 major musical evenings on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7. Blending techno, house and electronic music, this unmissable event will feature Nastia, Octave One, Maara and Pureblast in one of the city's most unique venues. Tickets are already on sale.
22 artists and 2 electro nights at the Submarine Base
For this new edition, ISULIA brings together emerging talents, Bordeaux artists, and international headliners. On Friday, November 6th, Ukrainian DJ Nastia will share the bill with Audrey Danza, Djedjotronic accompanied by the Xenakis Trio performing live, Belaria & Zaatar, and La Maskarade.
On Saturday, November 7th, it's time for American duo Octave One, expected for a live performance, as well as Maara, Pureblast, Lea Occhi and several collectives. An eclectic lineup designed to bring together worlds that rarely intersect. More artists are still to be announced for the after-clubs.
The Bassins des Lumières transformed into an immersive dancefloor
This is also what makes ISULIA unique: its setting. Built during World War II, the Bordeaux Submarine Base becomes, for the duration of the festival, a vast terrain for artistic experimentation.
Two stages will welcome festival-goers: la Bunker, at the heart of the Submarine Base, and la Mirage, set up in the Bassins des Lumières, exceptionally open in this configuration. Between monumental architecture, light displays and immersive scenography, the venue becomes a spectacle in its own right.
Much more than an electronic music festival
Created in 2021, ISULIA cultivates an ambition that goes beyond the turntables. This year, the festival will also offer round tables and meetings around two themes: visual cultures and digital imaginations, as well as ways to stay informed to better understand and take action.
The future of cultural venues, mental health, pop culture, algorithms, and new consumption habits will fuel the discussions. The detailed program will be revealed soon. A way to make ISULIA a space for celebration, but also for reflection and meetings, staying true to its commitment to Bordeaux's independent scenes.
