After four years of annual concerts in Saint-Laurent-de-Cuves village hall, the Papillons de Nuit festival has moved outdoors. Originally, this small festival was organized by the ROC en Baie association, made up of 27 permanent members. Today, it mobilizes 1,400 volunteers every year. So much for the festival's growth!
Yes, in just over twenty years of existence, the festival has welcomed some very big artists to its grounds! In 2025 alone, Ninho & Niska, Gims, Pierre Garnier, Julien Doré, Ben Mazué, Nova Twins, Solann, Deluxe, and Philippe Katerine all came together to get the large crowd of festival-goers dancing. In short, from young rock bands to more electro artists, not to mention the thriving local scene, the Papillons de Nuit Festival knows how to please.
In 2026, the festival announces its return to Normandy with a 24th edition not to be missed on Friday, May 22, Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, 2026. The festival is therefore returning to its usual dates. Remember, in 2025, the music event took place in Normandy from June 6 to 8. What about thelineup? There will be some big names, with many artists in attendance, particularly from therap scene, such as PLK and La Mano 1.9.
On the French pop side, you can count on the presence of the phenomenal Helena. Matt Pokora,Suzane, Amelie Lens, Luiza, and not to mention Jamaican Sean Paulare also announced for 2026 on the Papillons de Nuit Festival website, located in Saint-Laurent-de-Cuves.
