It's THE cultural event that many fans and enthusiasts look forward to every summer. A truly multidisciplinary festival (theater, music, dance, cinema), Les Nuits de Fourvière takes place at the Théâtre Antique de Fourvière (seating capacity 2,600 to 4,500) in Lyon's 5th arrondissement, and has been doing so since 1946! Every summer, the festival presents nearly 60 performances for over one hundred and thirty thousand spectators.
After a highly successful 2025 edition, featuring concerts by Beth Gibbons, Pomme, Jean-Louis Aubert, Franz Ferdinand, Max Richter, Jorja Smith, Cypress Hill, Fontaines D.C., Lamomali, Chilly Gonzales and Ben Mazué and La Femme, the Nuits de Fourvière festival announces its return in 2026.
This summer, in June and July 2026, the renowned music festival is making its way back to Lyon. The lineup promises an impressive mix of both national and international artists, celebrating the festival’s 80th anniversary in style!

The singer will perform her latest album live, titled "The Return of the Good Days." Then, on June 12, the spotlight turns to "Cesária Évora Orchestr." For one evening, the finest Cape Verdean musicians alongside some of today's biggest voices—Mayra Andrade, Elida Almeida, Ceuzany, Lucibela, and Teofilo Chantre—will come together to pay a heartfelt tribute to the barefoot diva.
On July 19th, two acclaimed pianists, Maki Namekawa and Thomas Enhco, will take on Keith Jarrett’s iconic album, "The Köln Concert", promising a truly memorable performance.
