Main Square Festival

Main Square Festival is a yearly international music festival in Arras, France, organised by Live Nation. The organisers describe its identity as a mix of international acts and new discoveries.

The next edition is confirmed for 2 to 4 July 2027, in Arras, in the Hauts-de-France region. The festival usually takes place in July.

Entry is expected to be by ticket, though the access details are not confirmed yet. Passes are expected to be offered for 1 day, 2 days or 3 days, along with VIP passes, through the festival's own ticket office and through Ticketmaster outlets. Check the official ticket office before planning.

The festival has a stage called the Bastion, which the organisers dedicate entirely to emerging music acts from the Hauts-de-France region.

For this stage, the organisers say they have assembled a selection of local artists together with partners including Le Pharos, Le Poche, 9-9 bis, Les 4Ecluses and Dynamo.

The festival was founded in 2004 by France Leduc Productions. Its 2008 edition began a partnership with Live Nation and a move to a 3-day format.

According to the organisers, the Bastion, a stage devoted to regional talent, has been part of the festival since 2019.

Pets and other animals cannot enter the site. The only exceptions are guide dogs and assistance dogs that accompany a person with a disability.

Visitors who need accessibility arrangements are asked to complete a reception form, so that the festival teams can prepare for them.
