A festival for singles that breaks the mold
Forget awkward speed dating and endless chats behind a screen. With Funnychella, meetings happen to the beat of music, in a lively and relaxed atmosphere inspired by the great American festivals. On Sunday, September 27, 2026, head to Valencia in the Drôme to discover a concept that is as original as it is daring: a rock festival exclusively for singles.
Set against a backdrop worthy of a Wild West ranch, the event promises a full immersion experience. With an impressive 220 m² saloon, a spacious 280 m² terrace, and an outdoor courtyard of 500 m², this setting has everything needed to transport participants to a western version of the famous Coachella festival.
Live concerts, DJ sets, and a Far West vibe
Music will obviously be at the heart of the experience. Two live bands will take turns throughout the day to pump up the crowd until a DJ takes over the dance floor in the evening. The aim is simple: to create an atmosphere conducive to connections, encounters, and unforgettable memories.
But Funnychella is not just about the music lineup. True to its immersive spirit, the festival will also offer a multitude of activities inspired by country and western culture. Festival-goers will have the chance to try their hand at country dancing, take on the mechanical bull challenge, or participate in horseshoe throwing tournaments in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere.
Get your cowboy boots and hats ready
The dress code is an integral part of the adventure. Bohème chic outfits, floral dresses, cowboy boots, vintage jeans, or cowboy hats will be highly recommended to fully dive into the festival's universe. There will even be a contest for the best costume, rewarding the most inspired participants with two weekends to win. On the food side, the experience promises to be just as generous with food trucks, barbecues...and the craft beers brewed on-site. Just the thing to recharge your batteries between concerts or meetups.
In an era where apps reign supreme, Funnychella brings real-life meetings back into the spotlight. Here, there are no profiles to swipe or algorithms to impress. Connections happen naturally over a concert, a drink, or a shared activity.The festivities will kick off at 3 PM and continue until 11 PM at a location just 3 kilometers from the Valence TGV train station. One thing is for sure: with its unique concept, festive atmosphere, and a setting straight out of a modern western, Funnychella could easily become the must-attend event for singletons looking for new connections… and maybe even a beautiful story.
