Memòri Festival announces first edition and line-up

A new small-scale electronic music festival launches this July in southern France.

A new festival is joining the European summer calendar: Memòri Festival will debut from 2-5 July 2026 at the Domaine de Gayfié, near the village of Saint-Jean-de-Laur in the Lot region of southern France.

Founded by Antoine Hernandez, formerly involved in the programming of Positive Education and pe:rsona, alongside Quentin Courel of Underscope and Comic Sans Records, Memòri is conceived as a four-day gathering centred on exploratory electronic music in an intimate, rural setting. With a limited capacity of 2,000 people, the site sits on a limestone plateau surrounded by forests, streams and vineyards.

This year’s edition will feature four stages: a poolside sound system hosting DJ sets ranging from trip-hop to bass music and tech-house, a main stage dedicated to live acts and forward-leaning electronic performances, an ambient stage designed for rest and slow listening, and a barn converted into a nightclub for late-night dance sessions.

Balancing international names with French artists, the programming avoids headline-driven booking in favour of artists selected for their musical paths and the scenes they represent. So far, the line-up includes CCL, Shackleton (live), Mia Koden, Bambi and Beatrice M., Darwin, De Grandi (live), Azu Tiwaline & Tikiman (live), EMA, k means, and many more.
