About

Family Piknik blows out its 15 candles at the Parc des Expositions in Montpellier on August 1 and 2, 2026. Two days of open-air festival, a mature format and a clear identity : European techno in all its declinations, with zero concession to EDM or the mainstream. The 2026 edition splits across three curated stages : Elrow Stage (Armand van Helden, Kevin de Vries, Space 92), Hard Stage by Organïk (25emeheure, Balagan, Creeds, Omaks, Todiefor, TNT) and Nomad Stage by Afterseason (Etienne de Crécy, Roman Flügel b2b Erol Alkan, Brina Knauss). The 2026 lineup condenses what made the festival's reputation. Armand van Helden and Etienne de Crécy for the heritage. Oliver Huntemann, Roman Flügel b2b Erol Alkan and Chus & Ceballos for top-shelf European techno. Brina Knauss, Blond:ish and HVOB for the melodic side. TRYM, Kevin de Vries, Space 92, Korolova for the new-school hard and melodic. Tom Pooks plus the French scene with Todiefor, Hysta, Lessss, Creeds and 25emeheure for the rising values. 55 artists, no dead time. One of the strongest open-air programmings in the South, celebrated each year by a loyal crowd.
