65 artists to perform at the Plein Phare Festival in Toulouse

Two days, 65 artists, and the Toulouse sky as a ceiling – the Plein Phare Festival is set to be one of the most anticipated electronic music events of spring. From Friday, May 15, 2026, at 6 p.m. until Saturday, May 16, at midnight, the Pech David Observatory transforms into one of the most unique settings in the local festival scene of Toulouse.

Over 6,000 square meters in the open air, the festival takes over the hill with a clear ambition: to offer an extraordinary sonic and collective experience, far from enclosed spaces and constrained environments. More than 6,000 festival-goers are expected for the event, and tickets are selling out fast.

A 360-degree stage and quadraphonic sound

The technical setup is designed to envelop and amplify. At the heart of the site, a 360-degree stage equipped with a quadraphonic sound system places the audience, quite literally, in the center of the sound – a rare configuration that turns every set into an immersive experience.

For the most intense moments or cooler nights, a 1,000 square meter tent serves as a covered dance floor, ensuring the party never stops, regardless of the conditions.

65 artists, over 50 hours of music

One of the staggering numbers of the event is over 50 hours of music, carried by a lineup of over 65 artists who will take the stage at the festival and during the after parties. Among the names featured in the lineup are Simon Erar, Alya, Censoredname, Sago, Sandroop, and Emberline – a selection covering a broad spectrum of current electronic music trends.

After parties across the Ville Rose

Plein Phare extends the experience beyond the hills of Pech David. The festival continues the festivities in the most established venues of the local scene in Toulouse, with after parties at Bikini, Cri de la Mouette, Rex, and Interference. A perfect way to keep going until the early hours for those not yet satisfied.
