Out July 24–27, Château Perché returns with its 10th anniversary edition, bringing its signature blend of immersive art, genre-fluid music, and radical creativity to the historic Château de Farcheville, a 13th-century castle just outside Paris. With over 6,900 attendees, more than 400 international artists, and 11 curated stages, this year’s edition is set to be the festival’s most expansive yet—both in scale and in imagination.
This year’s theme, “Once upon a time there was a graphic fantasy utopia,” invites festivalgoers into a world where storytelling, costume, and creative expression collide. Each day brings a new visual identity, from whimsical sky-high sleepwear (Pyjamas in the Sky with Diamonds) to decadent fantasy couture (Haute Couture Kinky Tales) and a vivid ode to love (Vermillon Love Legion). The lineup spans dreamy downtempo, melodic techno, amapiano, house, live bands, UK garage, and psytrance—spread across stage concepts like Le Mirador de l’Amor, Le Jardin à la Française, and Le Colombier.
Beyond sound, Château Perché continues its legacy as a playground for mind and body. The Exploration Village hosts emotional and sensory workshops, while La Cour d’honneur offers a curated zone of audiovisual performances, healing spaces, and daily quiet hours for grounding. As always, design and decoration are core to the festival’s world-building—every corner of the château is transformed into an artwork of its own.
Underpinning it all are the values that have defined Château Perché for a decade: Respect, Ecology, Safety, and Awakening. The festival is fully vegetarian, implements reusable dishware, and operates shuttle service from eight cities to cut carbon emissions. Entry requires signing a moral commitment form—a reminder that this isn’t just an event, but a co-created cultural experiment where everyone plays a part.
Press are invited to join guided tours on-site, offering behind-the-scenes access to one of France’s most visionary festivals.
