Above Img Cred: Geoffrey Hubbel
Cercle Festival locked in its full 2026 lineup and confirmed a three day return to the National Air and Space Museum of France from May 22 to 24. The team expanded the event into a full weekend this year, building on the momentum of the sold out 2024 edition that brought fans from more than seventy countries to the tarmac at Le Bourget. The location sets the tone on its own, with stages built beneath the A380, beside two Concorde aircraft, and at the base of the Ariane 5 rocket. That mix of music and aviation history has become the signature of the festival, and this edition pushes even further into that identity.
Derek Barbolla and the Cercle team curated forty four artists from nineteen countries across three full days. The idea this year focused on pairing global heavy hitters with French voices that define the current moment. Names like Anetha, Enfant Sauvage, Thylacine, Marten Lou, and Etienne de Crécy sit right alongside Adriatique, Eric Prydz, Ben Böhmer, Kenya Grace, and many more. The lineup runs through house, afro house, melodic techno, techno, electronica, and everything adjacent to those worlds, giving each day its own feel without leaning too heavily in one direction.

Three Days Across Three Stages
Friday’s program brings a wide sweep through deep, organic, and forward leaning sounds with sets from Acid Pauli, Mind Against, berlioz, ANNA, Carlita, Enfant Sauvage, Rodrigo Gallardo, Kerri Chandler, and others. Saturday jumps straight into a heavier profile, lining up ARTBAT, Kölsch, Lane 8, LP Giobbi, DJ Tennis, Parra for Cuva, Jimi Jules, and a highly anticipated set from Michael Bibi. Sunday closes the weekend with one of the strongest runs on the poster, featuring Eric Prydz, Ben Böhmer, Âme DJ b2b Sama’ Abdulhadi, Röyksopp, Miss Monique, Mahmut Orhan, Yotto, and Thylacine.
With three distinct stages, the festival uses the museum’s structure as a central part of the experience. The Ariane Stage sits below the rocket, the A380 Stage takes place under the world’s largest passenger aircraft, and the Concorde Stage sits between the two supersonic icons. Each space offers its own light, scale, and feel, and Cercle builds the visual direction around those details.
