JUST'N'FEST 2026

On Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3, 2026, Just’n’Fest will take over the René-Valette hall in Saint-Just, between Montpellier and Nîmes, for two evenings dedicated to the different facets of rock and metal.

For its 7th edition, the festival organized by the We Rock association will once again offer a lineup mixing renowned artists, emerging bands, and regional scene discoveries. From French heavy metal to the new international nordic folk scene, two evenings with very distinct universes await fans of amplified music.

Two evenings, two universes On Friday, October 2, ADX, a historic figure of French heavy metal, will lead an evening dedicated to hard rock and heavy metal, alongside Highway, Gracefall, and Bronca.

On Saturday, October 3, make way for a lineup more broadly focused on metal and extreme music with EIHWAR, KrashKarma, Carcariass, Septaria, Eiga, and Gate of Mind. Voices of Hecate, winner of the contest organized by the festival, will also have the opportunity to open this evening. Several other acts will complete the lineup on the OFF stage.

Friday: ADX, Highway, Gracefall, and Bronca. Saturday: EIHWAR, KrashKarma, Carcariass, Septaria, Eiga, Gate of Mind, Voices of Hecate, and the OFF stage.

EIHWAR, from Hellfest to Just’n’Fest Revealed to the general metal public during their appearance at Hellfest, EIHWAR quickly established themselves as one of the representatives of the new international nordic folk scene.

Blending chants inspired by Nordic traditions, tribal percussions, and electronic sounds, the duo develops a festive and spectacular music, designed to make the audience dance and transform concerts into true "Viking dancefloors".

EIHWAR notably shares the Season of Mist label with Heilung, another international reference of the genre. Their arrival in Saint-Just will be one of the highlights of this 2026 edition.

A free rock market between culture and awareness

Just’n’Fest is not just about its musical lineup. Over the weekend, the festival will also offer a free-access rock market, bringing together creators, artisans, artists, and community actors, as well as several areas dedicated to awareness and prevention.

The public will notably be able to meet Sea Shepherd, discover the actions of the Syndicat Mixte Pic et Étang regarding waste management, or learn about hearing protection with Ear Care. The festival will also partner with Pink October (Octobre Rose) to relay prevention and screening awareness messages.

FFMC will also be present with a mini-motorcycle track, offering fun entertainment around two-wheeled riding and road safety.

Accessible for free, this market will thus allow everyone to come and discover the universe of rock and metal, meet the exhibitors and associations present, but also get informed and exchange views on various themes.

Through this village, Just’n’Fest thus affirms its desire to offer an event that goes beyond the framework of concerts, combining music, culture, discovery, prevention, and community commitment.

A stage open to discoveries

Driven by the We Rock association, Just’n’Fest has defended since its creation an independent, human-scaled festival model where confirmed artists and new talents can share the same stage.

The contest is one of the pillars of this approach. After several months of selection and voting, Voices of Hecate, winner of the 2026 edition, will thus perform alongside already established bands.

The OFF stage will also allow several emerging acts to introduce themselves to the public throughout the weekend.

With this new edition, Just’n’Fest intends to pursue its ambition: to help people discover the richness of rock and metal, support emerging artists, and offer, in Saint-Just, an independent musical gathering or
