Overview
Cercle Festival 2026 returns to the historic tarmac of the National Air and Space Museum of France for its most ambitious edition yet. Expanding to a three-day format from May 22 to May 24, the festival continues its tradition of merging electronic music with exceptional heritage sites.

FAQ's
Is there a minimum age to attend the Cercle Festival?
The festival is strictly for adults aged 18 and over, and a valid government-issued photo ID is required for entry at the gate. No exceptions are made for minors, even if they are accompanied by an adult, due to the nature of the event and alcohol service. Security will check IDs upon arrival, so please ensure you have your physical passport or national ID card ready.
What is the policy regarding re-entry to the venue?
For security reasons, any exit from the festival grounds is final, and your wristband will not grant you access back inside on the same day. The venue provides all necessary facilities including diverse food courts, hydration stations, and relaxation areas so you can stay comfortably until the close. Be sure to bring everything you need for the day, such as a light jacket for the evening, before you enter the museum gates.
Are there lockers available for personal belongings at the museum?
Yes, the festival provides a cloakroom and locker service where you can safely store jackets, bags, and other small personal items for a fee. It is highly recommended to travel light as large suitcases or oversized backpacks are generally not permitted inside the museum for safety reasons. VIP ticket holders typically have access to a dedicated, complimentary cloakroom area as part of their premium package benefits.
How does the payment system work for food and drinks?
Cercle Festival operates a 100 percent cashless system, meaning you will use your festival wristband to pay for all onsite purchases. You can top up your wristband credits online before the event or at one of the several top-up stations located within the venue grounds. Any remaining balance on your wristband at the end of the festival can usually be refunded through the official website during a specific window.
What happens if the weather is poor since it is an outdoor event?
The festival is designed to take place rain or shine, and the music will continue regardless of typical weather conditions. While most stages are outdoors, some areas and museum hangars provide cover, but it is wise to bring a waterproof poncho or light raincoat. Umbrellas are strictly prohibited inside the venue for safety and visibility reasons, so please plan your attire according to the local forecast.
