The Malouin festival finalizes once and for all the programming for its 34th Summer Collection at the Fort de Saint-Père and other emblematic venues from August 12 to 15, 2026. This edition promises a total sonic immersion blending rock with electronic gems, complemented by a cultural segment featuring an exhibition dedicated to Jean-Louis Murat.
The Route du Rock makes its grand return to the Emerald Coast, spanning the Fort de Saint-Père sites and the gentle ambiance of Bon-Secours Beach. Between international headliners, pioneering programming and reflective moments, the raw energy of the concerts and the Malouin landscapes once again stand out as a summer essential.
The opening days kick off with a bang! On Wednesday, you’ll encounter, among others, the immersive post-rock of Just Mustard and the Danish Elias Rønnenfelt’s poetic spleen. On Thursday, intensity rises at the Fort with the explosive performances of the icon Peaches and the radical post-punk of Ditz, while Smerz will venture into alt-pop and Horsegirl will deliver their Chicago-scene-inspired noise rock. Cate Le Bon’s sculptural and distinctive universe rounds out this panorama.
But also Dry Cleaning, Baxter Dury and Fontaines D.C…
The weekend promises to be just as rich, with Friday bringing the magnetic post-punk of Dry Cleaning, the elegant groove of Baxter Dury, as well as the rock reinterpretations of the trio Moin and the irreverent energy of The Femcels. Saturday will mark the festival’s peak with Fontaines D.C.’s sole summer appearance in France, the theatrical presence of Aldous Harding, and Kurt Vile’s slacker rock.
Route du Rock, Saint-Malo, from August 12 to 15, 2026. Different ticket formats are available to festival-goers, including day passes and 2- or 3-day options ranging from 40 to 135 euros. The full lineup and tickets can be found here.
