The 18th edition of the Rock’&’Cars festival is set to take place in Lavaur from June 12 to 14, 2026. This free event will bring together music enthusiasts, car lovers, and curious visitors for a festive atmosphere in the city center. Rock’&’Cars has been recognized as one of the top ten free urban festivals in France in 2017 and was voted the best festive event in the Tarn region in 2018. With over 25,000 visitors in 2025, this year’s event is expected to showcase more than 900 vehicles including Harley, rods, kustoms, US cars, and vintage models. Twelve bands will perform over the three days, including well-known artists like French singer-songwriter Gaëlle Buswel, American rock band The Lords of Altamont, and French blues rock guitarist and singer Rod Barthet. The festivities will kick off on Friday evening with performances in Lavaur’s bars, followed by car and motorcycle rides, a parade and pin-up contest, concerts, and an award ceremony for the most beautiful vehicles on Sunday.
