Rock’n Poche Festival 2026: two evenings of concerts in the heart of the mountains in Haute-Savoie

The Rock’n Poche Festival returns to Habère-Poche on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1, 2026 for its 34th edition. Renowned for its friendly atmosphere, eclectic lineup, and unique setting at the foot of the alpine pastures of the Vallée Verte, this event has become one of the most anticipated contemporary music festivals of the summer in Haute-Savoie.

A festival that has become unmissable in Haute-Savoie

Created in 1992 by a team of passionate volunteers, Rock’n Poche has established itself over the years as one of the region’s major musical events. Each summer, nearly 11,000 festival-goers gather in Habère-Poche to enjoy 16 concerts spread over two stages, in an intimate atmosphere that defines the festival’s reputation.

The event remains true to its associative DNA with more than 200 volunteers mobilized to welcome the public in an exceptional setting, in the heart of the Alps of Léman.

  • Ultra Vomit
  • Danakil
  • Mosimann
  • Jahneration
  • Sergent Garcia
  • Skarra Mucci x ManuDigital

Alongside them, several emerging groups will also perform on the regional stage, faithful to the festival’s commitment to supporting new talents from Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and French-speaking Switzerland.

Two music evenings in an exceptional setting

Located on the Frastaz site, at the foot of the alpine pastures of Habère-Poche, Rock’n Poche offers a different experience from large festivals. Here, concerts take place in a warm atmosphere, with appreciated proximity between artists and the audience.

A 100% associative event

One of Rock’n Poche’s strengths lies in its operation. The festival is carried by a local association and relies largely on the commitment of its volunteers. This organization helps preserve the friendly spirit of the event, which over the years has become one of the summer symbols of the Vallée Verte.

Its slogan perfectly summarizes its identity: “The biggest rock festival in Haute-Savoie in the world!”
