The musical summer officially begins in Évian-les-Bains. This Friday, July 24, the Summer Stages kick off their 2026 edition with a highly anticipated concert by Cœur de Pirate. Free and outdoors, this first event promises to attract a large audience on the shores of Lake Geneva.
A first concert with one of the great voices of Francophone song
To launch this new edition of the Summer Stages, the City of Évian has chosen an essential artist of the Francophone scene. Cœur de Pirate will take the stage this Friday evening to present the tracks from her latest album Cavale, as well as the songs that have marked her career.
Before her, the audience will discover Milo, winner of the Étoiles du Léman, who will open the evening from 8:30 PM. Cœur de Pirate will follow at 9:30 PM in the exceptional setting of Square Henri Buet, facing Lake Geneva.
Five Fridays of free concerts all summer long
The Summer Stages have established themselves for several years as one of the essential cultural events of the summer in the Chablais. Every Friday evening, from July 24 to August 21, the public can attend free concerts by nationally renowned artists in a friendly atmosphere.
The 2026 lineup notably includes :
- July 24 : Cœur de Pirate
- July 31 : Peter Cincotti
- August 7 : Anne Sila and Yvan Cassar
- August 14 : Lynda Lemay and Jean-Félix Lalanne
- August 21 : Victoria Sio
An eclectic lineup blending French chanson, jazz, pop, and piano, with Lake Geneva always as a backdrop.
A unique setting by Lake Geneva
Located on the Square Henri Buet, just a few meters from the Évian docks, the stage offers an exceptional setting to enjoy an outdoor concert at sunset. Access is completely free, allowing both locals and tourists to discover top artists without a reservation.
Given Cœur de Pirate’s popularity, a large crowd is expected from the start of the evening. Organizers recommend arriving early to easily find a spot and fully enjoy the show.
