Rose Festival 2027 – Toulouse, France

What to expect in 2027

Rose Festival 2027 is expected to return to the Toulouse metropolitan area for another edition of the major French music festival created by Toulouse artists Bigflo & Oli. The festival combines major national and international artists with emerging performers, regional talent, talks, food, accessibility initiatives and a broad programme designed around contemporary music and culture.

The festival was created in 2022 with the ambition of establishing a major music event in the Toulouse area. Since its launch, Rose Festival has developed into a large-scale event at the MEETT exhibition centre in Aussonne, approximately 20 minutes from central Toulouse. The organisers have also developed the Rose Festival Tremplin to support emerging artists from Occitanie and provide opportunities for new performers.

For 2027, the detailed programme has not yet been officially announced. Visitors should therefore expect the broad format of the festival to continue while waiting for the organisers to reveal the artists, stage programme, activities and practical information for the new edition.

Rose Festival has traditionally combined major pop, rap, hip-hop, electronic and French music acts with emerging artists. Its programme also extends beyond music through talks, food areas, accessibility facilities and other festival experiences.

Event dates

Festival period: August 2027 (Dates TBD)

The official 2027 calendar has not yet been published. The festival’s official website currently provides information for the latest announced edition rather than a confirmed 2027 programme.

Once the organisers officially announce the 2027 schedule, visitors should check the festival website for the confirmed opening hours, individual performance days and final programme.

The festival normally operates across several days, allowing audiences to combine headline concerts with emerging artists and other activities. The final 2027 schedule should be treated as subject to official confirmation until published by Rose Festival.

Venue & festival site

Rose Festival is held at the MEETT – Parc des Expositions in the Toulouse metropolitan area.

Venue: MEETT – Parc des Expositions

Location: Concorde Avenue, 31840 Aussonne, France

The MEETT provides a large event environment with extensive outdoor and festival-use areas. Its location north-west of Toulouse makes the festival accessible from the city by public transport, road and other mobility options.

The festival site is designed around major concert stages as well as food and beverage areas, talks, accessibility facilities and additional festival services.

The organisers have also developed dedicated areas for accessibility and inclusion, including elevated viewing platforms, welcome points, adapted counters and other facilities.

Full lineup

The 2027 Rose Festival lineup has not yet been announced.

The official festival website currently presents the latest published edition and does not yet provide a confirmed 2027 artist list. Consequently, no artists from the previous programme should be presented as confirmed performers for 2027.

The previous edition demonstrates the broad musical direction that visitors can expect from the festival. The programme included major artists from French and international pop, rap, hip-hop and electronic music alongside emerging performers.

The latest published programme featured artists including:

Major artists: Aya Nakamura, DJ Snake, Macklemore, Josman, Zaho, Kungs and L2B.

French and international performers: Franglish, Disiz, Miki, Ino Casablanca, ElGrandeToto, Bekar, Meryl, Vladimir Cauchemar, Médine, Iliona and Danyl.

Emerging and regional artists: The programme also included numerous artists connected with the Rose Festival Tremplin and other emerging-music initiatives.

These performers are previous-edition examples only and should not be interpreted as a confirmed 2027 lineup.

Headliners & featured artists

No 2027 headliners have been officially announced yet.

Rose Festival has historically combined internationally recognised performers with leading French artists and emerging acts. Previous editions have included major names such as Aya Nakamura, DJ Snake and Macklemore, demonstrating the scale of headline programming that the festival has developed.

The festival also places significant emphasis on emerging artists. Through the Rose Festival Tremplin, the organisers have created a platform for new talent from Occitanie, with selected artists receiving opportunities to perform on the festival’s major stages and develop their careers.

The 2027 headliner announcements should therefore be checked directly through the official Rose Festival programme once released.

Stages & performance areas

Rose Festival uses several performance areas to create a varied programme.

Main stages: The festival’s principal stages accommodate the major concerts and headline performances. These areas are designed for large audiences and major production.

Visionnaire stage: The festival has identified Visionnaire as a separate performance area and has provided an accessible elevated platform for visitors with disabilities.

Talks stage: Rose Festival also incorporates talks and conferences into its programme. The festival’s accessibility programme has previously included conferences translated into French Sign Language.

Emerging-artist spaces: The festival’s Tremplin programme provides opportunities for newer artists, including performers from the Occitanie region.

The final 2027 stage names, layouts and artist allocations remain to be announced.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The detailed 2027 stage schedule is not yet available.

Rose Festival normally divides its programme between major concert stages and additional spaces dedicated to emerging artists, talks and other activities. The final timetable will determine which performers appear on each stage and how the audience can move between performances.

Main stages: 2027 artists and running order to be announced.

Visionnaire: 2027 programme to be announced.

Talks: 2027 speakers and sessions to be announced.

Emerging artists: The 2027 Tremplin programme and participating artists to be announced.

Visitors should wait for the official timetable before planning a detailed stage-to-stage itinerary.

Set times

Exact 2027 artist set times have not been published.

The latest official practical information provides an indication of how Rose Festival structures its daily operations. During the latest published edition, the festival site opened in the afternoon and remained open into the early hours, while food and beverage services operated for most of the concert programme.

The 2027 timetable may include different opening and closing times depending on the final programme.

Visitors should check the official festival app, website and programme announcements for confirmed performance times before attending.

Ticket types

2027 ticket prices have not yet been announced.

Rose Festival has historically used several ticket-release phases, allowing prices to change as allocations are sold. The official ticketing information describes phases including Early Bird, Regular, Hurry Up and Last Chance. These different phases apply to limited quantities of tickets.

For the previous published edition, ticket sales included different pass options and dedicated accessibility ticketing. The exact 2027 ticket structure should be confirmed when the new ticket office opens.

Early Bird: Limited first-release tickets offered to early purchasers.

Regular: Standard ticket allocation following the early-release quota.

Hurry Up: Later ticket phase introduced as earlier allocations sell out.

Last Chance: Final ticket allocation before the event.

Single-day tickets: Availability depends on the final 2027 ticket structure.

Pass Culture: Rose Festival has previously been available through Pass Culture for eligible users.

No 2027 prices should be treated as confirmed until published through the official ticketing system.

VIP & premium options

The 2027 VIP and premium programme has not yet been announced.

Rose Festival’s main focus is its large-scale concert experience, but premium or dedicated hospitality services may be introduced alongside the general ticket programme.

Visitors looking for enhanced comfort should check the official ticketing page when 2027 sales open for information about any VIP areas, hospitality services, dedicated entrances or premium experiences.

Accessibility facilities should not be confused with VIP services. Rose Festival operates dedicated accessibility provisions for people with disabilities, including an elevated platform, welcome points and adapted facilities.

Event rules

Rose Festival operates security and admission procedures designed to maintain a safe environment for performers, staff and visitors.

Ticket control: Visitors must present a valid ticket for entry and follow the organiser’s admission procedures.

Security: Security checks may be carried out at entrances, and visitors should follow staff instructions regarding prohibited items.

Age requirements: The applicable age rules depend on the final 2027 conditions. Parents or guardians accompanying younger visitors should check the official ticketing rules before attending.

Ticket resale: Rose Festival provides official resale information through its ticketing system. The organisers advise using authorised resale channels rather than unofficial sellers.

Site instructions: Visitors must follow instructions from festival security, staff and emergency personnel throughout the event.

The final 2027 terms and conditions should be reviewed before travelling because individual rules can change between editions.

Accommodation areas

Rose Festival does not normally operate a festival campsite at the MEETT site. The official accommodation information instead directs visitors toward partner hotels and accommodation in Toulouse and the surrounding area.

Central Toulouse: Staying in central Toulouse provides access to restaurants, shops and the city’s wider accommodation network. Public transport can then be used to reach the festival site.

Toulouse Blagnac area: Hotels closer to the airport and north-western side of the city can provide convenient access to the MEETT.

Aussonne and surrounding area: Accommodation around the festival venue can reduce travel time, although availability may be more limited than in central Toulouse.

Partner hotels: Rose Festival has previously worked with hotel partners and accommodation platforms to provide festival visitors with special arrangements. The latest official accommodation page lists partner hotels in Toulouse.

Visitors should arrange accommodation early because festival weekends can increase demand for hotels across the Toulouse area.

Food & drink

Food and beverage facilities form an important part of the Rose Festival experience.

The latest official practical information confirms dedicated bars and food trucks operating inside the festival site. Opening hours have traditionally extended through much of the concert programme.

Food trucks: A range of food options is available throughout the festival site.

Bars: Festival bars provide drinks during the event.

Food court: A dedicated food area gives visitors a place to eat and take breaks between concerts.

Click & collect: Rose Festival has introduced a click-and-collect food and beverage service as part of its accessibility programme, allowing eligible visitors to order refreshments and have volunteers assist with collection.

The final 2027 food vendors and menus will be announced closer to the festival.

Accessibility

Accessibility and inclusion are major elements of the Rose Festival’s organisation.

The festival operates a dedicated accessibility programme known as Rose Accessible, with services designed to help visitors with physical, sensory, cognitive and other disabilities enjoy the event.

Accessible transport: The Tisséo network is accessible, while Mobibus can provide transport to the festival by reservation.

Accessible parking: Dedicated PSH parking is available close to the festival entrance.

Viewing platforms: A central elevated platform provides a direct view toward the two principal stages. A separate accessible platform is also available at the Visionnaire stage.

Handi-Accueil: Dedicated welcome points are located at festival entrances.

Equipment: Wheelchairs, crutches and hearing-protection equipment can be made available, subject to the festival’s procedures.

Lowered counters: The festival has installed adapted counters with appropriate signage.

Vibrating vests: Vibrating vests are available to help deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors experience music through vibration.

Rose Festival also operates a facilitated-access wristband for people who may need easier access to queues, including people with invisible or temporary disabilities, pregnant visitors and older people.

Best days to attend

Because the 2027 programme has not yet been announced, it is not possible to identify which individual festival day will have the strongest lineup.

Opening programme: The first festival day traditionally introduces a combination of headline performances, emerging artists and additional activities.

Main concert days: The festival’s principal programme is distributed across its major stages, with different performers appearing throughout the event.

Tremplin performances: Visitors interested in emerging regional talent should follow announcements concerning the Rose Festival Tremplin and its selected artists.

Full festival experience: Visitors who want access to the complete 2027 programme can consider attending the entire festival rather than selecting a single day.

The best day for an individual visitor will ultimately depend on the artists and programme announced for 2027.

Previous year’s highlights

The latest published Rose Festival programme featured a broad mixture of French and international artists.

Major names included Macklemore, Aya Nakamura and DJ Snake, alongside artists such as Charlotte Cardin, Franglish, Disiz, Kungs, L2B, Josman, Zaho, Médine and ElGrandeToto.

The programme also gave substantial space to emerging and regional performers. Artists connected with the Tremplin included Milhan, Noé Extrat, Odeza and Etane, with the programme designed to support new talent from Occitanie.

Accessibility was another significant part of the latest edition. The festival reported a strengthened inclusion programme, including an accessible elevated platform, vibrating vests, adapted counters, accessible transport options, dedicated welcome points and easier-access facilities.

The festival’s wider environmental and social programme also continues to develop, with the organisers describing an ongoing approach to reducing the event’s environmental impact and improving social inclusion.

Official tickets

Official 2027 ticket sales and prices have not yet been announced.

Rose Festival uses its official ticketing system and authorised ticket partners. The festival’s ticketing information identifies the official channels as including the festival ticket office, Bleu Citron, Ticketmaster, Fnac, See Tickets and Pass Culture when applicable.

The organiser also provides an official resale process. Visitors should use the authorised resale platform rather than purchasing tickets through unofficial marketplaces, as resale conditions and ticket validity are controlled by the official system.
