Now in its 18th year, Beauregard has grown to become one of France’s largest modern music festivals! The 2026 edition promises to be bigger and better than ever!
An ambitious and eclectic programme
The festival is not limited to a single music genre. From electro, hard rock and indie rock to pop, hip hop and even trip hop, there’s something for everyone. Since its inception, Beauregard has always offered a line-up that would make any promoter green with envy. The biggest stars on the French and international scene have performed here. The result has been a lasting success. For 2026, the organisers are preparing a hell of an event, with headliners including Pulp, Pixies, The Hives, Macklemore, Cassius, Bob Sinclar, Vanessa Paradis and many more!
Beauregard is more than an event, it’s a feeling!
This eclectic mix brings together people from all walks of life and of all ages, giving the festival a convivial atmosphere. The setting also plays a part. You’re in the grounds of the Château de Beauregard in Hérouville Saint-Clair – a truly remarkable setting. As well as the concerts, there’s plenty to keep you entertained on the site: a Ferris wheel which will take you to new heights, a children’s area where kids (and older children too!) can have their faces painted and have fun thanks to a team of crack entertainers, and relaxation areas to chill out in between concerts. And let’s not forget that this is Normandy, and Normandy rhymes with gastronomy! The festival is all about local produce, with craft beers, oyster bars and even Normandy burgers.
A fun-packed campsite
This relaxed atmosphere extends to the festival campsite. For starters, there’s a family area and a party area if you’re up for a bit more! Throw in a breakfast service, volleyball court, deck chairs, open stage and even street performers and you’ve got the ultimate festival campsite!
