Considered one of the music festivals of which Bretons are most proud, Les Vieilles Charrues has been around since 1992, and has never ceased to surprise over the years. Created over 30 years ago, it has rapidly become France's biggest music festival in terms of paid admissions (242,000 admissions in 2010, around 5,500 volunteers in 2010), attracting a public drawn by its eclectic line-up and festive, convivial spirit.
From James Brown in 1997 to Bruce Springsteen in 2009, not forgetting Deep Purple, New Order, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith and Arcade Fire, Les Vieilles Charrues has always attracted people to Brittany!
After a stellar edition in 2025, the Vieilles Charrues returned to Carhaix in 2026 with an explosive lineup that once again drew huge crowds. Indeed, Katy Perry, Orelsan, Mosimann, Josman, Nick Cave, Vanessa Paradis, as well as Aya Nakamura and Disiz lit up four consecutive days in Carhaix this summer.
From now on, all eyes are on the 2027 edition, eagerly anticipated by the many festival-goers who make the event a regular date on their calendar. So when is this new and 35th edition scheduled? Save the dates: Vieilles Charrues invites you back to the Kerampuilh site in Carhaix from Thursday, July 15 to Sunday, July 18, 2027.
What about the programming? While we wait to unveil the full lineup for this 2027 edition, the festival lifts the curtain on its first headliner. And what a headliner, as Vieilles Charrues confirms Muse will be coming. The band fronted by Matthew Bellamy will be in Brittany on Thursday, July 15 for an opening concert that promises to be epic!
To make these in-the-flesh reunions with Muse in Carhaix feel real, don’t miss the opening of the ticket office. While general sale is scheduled for Monday, October 12 at 1:00 p.m. on the site vieillescharrues.asso.fr, a pre-sale will be available on October 12 from 9:00 to 12:00, but only at the festival offices in Carhaix. Note that only the tickets for Thursday will go on sale at this time, starting from €61. The tickets for the other days and the 3- and 4-day passes will be offered at a future sale, the festival said on its social networks.
So mark your calendars for July 15, 16, 17 and 18, 2027 in Carhaix to catch dozens of artists and bands, across four different stages over four days!
