The return of the giants of the scene

Four Tet is back six years after delivering an unforgettable Day, while Amelie Lens is already making a name for herself as one of the sure bets of this edition. The festival also brings back the founding spirits of clubbing with 808 State, The Sabres of Paradise, and Leftfield, who’s expected to deliver a high-energy b2b with HAAi. It’s a lineup that proudly embraces its heritage.

Venezuela, Australia, and New Zealand in the Same Galaxy

DJ Babatr brings the raptor house vibes from Venezuela to the heart of Lyon, while Roza Terenzi continues her cosmic journey blending progressive trance and breakbeat. DJ Fuckoff arrives packed with the raw energy of New Zealand raves. Together, this trio promises to expand the sound horizons of this edition.

Rødhåd and Tauceti are gearing up for an intergenerational techno showdown, with Carl Craig and Seth Troxler kicking off with a massive back-to-back set, and DJ Gigola crossing paths with Busy P for a stunning French duo. Nuits Sonores once again showcases their talent for creating musical shocks.

A Grand Finale!

Palestinian producer Sama’ Abdulhadi will lead the closing ceremony with a hypnotic techno-oriental fusion. It's all happening at the Grandes Locos, which will once again host the Days. For the night program, stay tuned: if this first wave already has you dizzy, the rest could blow your mind! Nuits Sonores 2026 is set to take place from May 13 to 17, from La Mulatière to La Sucrière. Passes will be available starting January 7, 2026, on the official website.
