Le Cabaret Vert

Le Cabaret Vert 2026: 88 acts, 20 Aug 2026 – 23 Aug 2026, Charleville-Mézières. Line-up, timetable and a plan with your crew – free, no ads.

Line-up

Metal in front of the Razorback stage on Thursday, tens of thousands singing along with Gims on Sunday – and in between you get a comic signed.

  • Floating bridge over the Meuse
  • Food and beer from the Ardennes
  • A campsite full of new encounters

The name comes from a poem by Rimbaud, and the site is a former factory wasteland right in the middle of Charleville-Mézières, directly on the Meuse. The programme changes from day to day: metal, French pop, rap, electro under the trees at night, plus dub at the Zion Club. Out front is a crowd that rarely meets anywhere else: metalheads, teenagers, kids who sing along to every line – half of them from the Ardennes.

Alongside it runs a second festival: comic artists sign for hours, the cinema has headphones and room to doze, and the Temps des Freaks has street performance and a fire at night.

Check first

  • Camping 1 by the entrance is for partying; Camping 2, under the trees by the Vieille Meuse, is quieter but a bit of a walk. You book either one on top of your festival pass. After rain, puddles form in front of the main stage; water is free, so bring a bottle that isn't glass.

Right for you

  • For crews with broad taste: up front for metal one day, part of the singalong the next, a comic in between. If you only want rock and metal, Thursday is when you'll get your fill.
