The festival
Created in 1988 in Troyes, the Nuits de Champagne celebrate French-language song around guest headline artists. Their signature since 1993: the Grand Choral, where some 800 amateur choir singers rehearse the guest's repertoire for months, then sing it with them at the closing concerts. In 2024, Tiken Jah Fakoly was one of the guest artists: 850 singers took up his songs at the Espace Argence. The 39th edition (October 2026) lines up 47 concerts in 13 venues and expects more than 25,000 festival-goers.
Good to know
Director: Michael Scherer. The festival opens with the Chœur de l'Aube (around 700 middle-school students). Official email published: [email protected].
