Main Square Festival 2026: Renée Rapp, Miki, Yamê... join the lineup

Considered one of the biggest music festivals in France, the Main Square Festival, created in 2004, owes part of its success to the site of the Grand-Place in Arras, where the festival has been held for seven years. During these seven years, festival-goers were able to admire the Grand-Place, considered a unique architectural ensemble in Europe. At the time, this historic site could accommodate some 30,000 festival-goers a day. In the past, the Main Square Festival has played host to the likes of Muse, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Radiohead and Placebo.

Since 2010, the Main Square Festival has been held at the Citadelle Vauban d'Arras, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This new venue has helped the festival to increase its capacity to around 40,000 festival-goers.

After a highly successful edition in 2025, featuring concerts by DJ Snake, Lamomali, Mika, Julien Doré, Clara Luciani, Last Train, Deftones, Gracie Abrams and Martin Garrix, the Main Square announces its return in 2026 for its 22nd edition!

Once again, the festival in Northern France plans to keep its loyal regulars dancing for three consecutive days of festivities. Mark your calendars! The Main Square Festival takes place in Arras on Friday July 3, Saturday July 4 and Sunday July 5, 2026.

What about the 2026 line-up ? The Main Square Festival has unveiled its first headliners. Get ready for Twenty One Pilots. The American duo are scheduled to close the festival on Sunday, July 5, 2026, for their only date in France!
