About Family Piknik
Marking a milestone 15th anniversary edition, Family Piknik 2026 shifts its open-air electronic experience to the Parc des Expositions de Montpellier in Pérols, France. Unfolding across a massive multi-stage music festival from Saturday, August 1 to Sunday, August 2, 2026, this underground gathering blends a welcoming, multi-generational picnic landscape with peak club curation from noon until 02:00 AM each day. The festival weekend officially begins with an immersive opening concert on Friday, July 31, headlined by the live electronic band HVOB.
The main Elrow Stage features custom decorations and visual effects, anchored by a special guest appearance from house pioneer Armand van Helden alongside techno titan Kevin de Vries and the live performance setups of Harmonik Kontrol. Sharing the primary zones are prominent progressive house and tech-house figures including BLOND:ISH, Korolova, and Arodes. Simultaneously, the hard techno and psych-trance focused Hard Stage showcases fast-paced sets from Trym, Alignment, Creeds, and Hysta. On the alternative Nomad Stage, deep and indie dance frequencies are controlled by veterans like Etienne de Crécy and an exclusive back-to-back set from Roman Flügel and Erol Alkan.
