Black Eyed Peas head up five days in Normandy.
Festival Beauregard 2025 lineup announced, five days of genre-jumping energy are set to hit the grounds of Château de Beauregard in Hérouville-Saint-Clair, Normandy, from July 2 to 6. The 17th edition of this cult-favourite French festival promises another unforgettable clash of indie, pop, electro, and punk under the Northern skies.
A long-running love affair with sound
What began in 2009 as a boutique gathering among the hedges of a 19th-century château has evolved into one of France’s boldest music events. Festival Beauregard isn’t just about headliners—it’s about setting, spirit, and the sticky magic of live sound bouncing off stone walls and century-old trees. Across five days, fans will be treated to a wide-spanning lineup that balances heavy hitters with cult darlings and next-ups.
This festival is more than music. It has grown into a living, breathing cultural moment that blends history and modernity. It’s a place where electro raves can bloom in 19th-century courtyards and where punk bands scream into the Norman sky. Beauregard is known for its seamless blending of the avant-garde with the familiar, creating a fully immersive cultural experience.
Who’s playing Festival Beauregard 2025?
Kicking things off on July 2 is The Day Before, a smaller-scale opener that’s grown in draw and energy. The 2025 edition features:
- Black Eyed Peas – still crowd-lifting and synth-happy
- DJ Snake – local hero, global bass wizard
- Lucky Love – bringing bittersweet Euro-dream-pop heat
The full-scale festival rolls from July 3–6 with heavyweight names including:
- The Black Keys – garage swagger, arena sound
- Amyl and The Sniffers – Aussie punk lightning
- Clara Luciani – France’s disco-pop noir queen
- Wet Leg – Isle of Wight irony, guitar fuzz
- The Limiñanas – psychedelic French grit
- King Hannah – brooding post-rock from Liverpool
- JYEUHAIR and Servo – rising forces from the French underground
And that’s just the surface. Other major acts locked in:
- The Dandy Warhols
- Bloc Party
- Blonde Redhead
- Last Train
From nostalgia-tinted indie to explosive electro and fuzzed-out noise, the range this year is untouchable. There’s a clear sense of curation that feels both intentional and intuitive—as if Beauregard’s booking team is thinking not just of who sounds big, but who sounds right for these grounds.
More than just a lineup
What makes Beauregard stand out isn’t just who’s on stage—it’s where you’re seeing them. Set inside the tree-wrapped Château de Beauregard, the grounds give festival-goers room to breathe. Expect wide lawns, tucked-away installations, and that rare French blend of elegance and chaos.
Even when the main stage is buzzing, there’s always a corner of quiet or curiosity. Art installations sprout from the woods. Pop-up vinyl stalls and food carts line the gravel paths. Kids and families wander through the quieter zones, while hardcore fans crowd surf near the barricades.
This year’s food lineup is expected to match the music in flair—local cheeses, regional wines, wood-fired everything. Pair that with large-scale art pieces and a laid-back crowd, and you’ve got more than a festival. You’ve got a midsummer escape.
Cultural crossroads
One of Beauregard’s strongest appeals is its ability to be both niche and massive. It attracts international headliners, but it also makes space for French newcomers and deep-cut favourites. It’s the kind of place where you can catch a stadium act, discover an underground gem, and then debate both over local cider and frites.
There’s also something deeply local about it. Normandy’s cultural fingerprint is all over the festival—in the food, the art, the way the crowd behaves. It feels more like a village gathering that got out of hand in the best way possible. And that gives it a warmth most large-scale festivals lack.
Planning your Beauregard week
Tickets go fast—especially the full five-day passes. You’ll want to move early. Normandy accommodation gets booked out quickly too, so if you’re eyeing anything within 20 minutes of Hérouville-Saint-Clair, don’t wait. Many opt to camp on-site or go for boutique stays in nearby Caen.
Beauregard’s official site provides details on ticket packages, transport options, and site access. Car-sharing is encouraged, and shuttle services run regularly from Caen and nearby train stations. It’s a green-conscious festival, and organisers are pushing for sustainable travel and minimal waste.
