The Pharaonic Festival returns on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Parvis des Esserts, in Cluses, for a completely renewed edition. After celebrating its tenth anniversary in grand style last year, the electro event of the Arve Valley embarks on a new decade with a 100% original lineup, featuring international artists and several rapidly rising French talents.
A story that has grown
Born in Chambéry in 2015 under the impetus of the Poisson d’Avril agency and Fun Radio, Pharaonic grew quickly: 3,000 festival-goers the first year, more than 10,000 today since its move to Cluses. After six spring editions in Chambéry, the event settled in Cluses in September 2022 and moved outdoors to Parvis des Esserts, presented as the largest open-air dancefloor in the region. In ten editions, the festival has already welcomed Martin Solveig, Kungs, Lost Frequencies, Timmy Trumpet, and Malaa — a remarkable trajectory for a valley event.
An international line-up for the 2026 edition
Bob Sinclar will be the headliner of Pharaonic 2026, having marked several generations with iconic tracks like “Love Generation” and “World, Hold On.” Around him, the festival brings together R3HAB, the Dutch DJ and producer who tours the biggest international stages, Petit Biscuit, French producer with over 4 billion streams, as well as Amor, Upsilone, and Paloma, rising stars from the new generation of French DJs making their debut in Cluses. It is the Dane Morten, who shared the stage at Stade de France with David Guetta in June 2026, who will close the edition, also a first for him at Pharaonic.
As every year, the festival also highlights the local scene: the winners of the Tremplin Pharaonic open the event, with for 2026 Liom, winner of the contest, and Noisy, jury favorite, chosen during the public final on June 4, 2026 at L’Atelier de Cluses.
An experience beyond music
Beyond the stage, the Pharaonic village welcomes the public with a bar area, local food trucks, dining spaces, the official festival shop, and merchandising stalls for the programmed DJs, as well as several animations.
