French gathering MIMO Festival has been steadily gathering pace over their previous three hugely successful editions and they now return for their fourth and most ambitious event to date. Taking place between 5th – 7th June at the historically significant site of Tilloloy Castle, the backdrop of stunning architecture and lush green is situated just an hour outside of Paris (via festival arranged shuttle).
With previous editions drawing on the wealth of talent that the French scene has to offer as well as the expanded pool of international collaborators, 2026 will be no different. Where better place to start than the outstanding lineup that has been painstakingly curated for this landmark event.
Treading the more electro side of house and techno, there is a huge array of highlights to be found at every turn across the weekend. Perhaps one of the most anticipated performances will come via an extended set from cornerstones of the French underground Massaï and Gabriel Belabbas. Each artist has made a huge impact, not just in France, but across the globe with solo sets on almost every continent in the past year alone. The prospect of a B2B from these exciting sound ambassadors is assuredly not to be missed.
The magic is certainly not confined to this set, certainly not. Also on the bill at MIMO Festival will be en vogue names such as London based Cartullis boss Unai Trotti and his digging prowess and booth skills are storied. He will be joined by Tunik, S.O.N.S, E.Lina, Gabbs, Desiree Falassi, DC Salas, and Sansibar.
With MIMO Festival being centered around community and close family ties, there will be a clutch of artists that will be returning for 2026. Firstly is Hicham, another hero of the underground and an artist that has been making huge steps globally. For this edition he has been bestowed with an extended set where he can really open up his sonic vision. He will be joined by regular collaborators Legram VG and their equally well informed selections will be welcomed by the MIMO faithful.
Bringing that home turf flavour will be the clutch of MIMO crew members Kaban, Omani, Fatan, and Ralph, who better to hit home the MIMO ethos than the team responsible for creating the magic. The lineup will be completed by So Fi, Messes Basses and Venetia who play live, Mhott, Lour, Domi, Alich, and Alex & Thomy.
Completing the “lineup” is perhaps the unsung hero of the festival and that is the site itself and the painstakingly crafted stage production. As you can see by the images above, no stone has been left unturned in the quest to transform the grounds of Tilloloy Castle an immersive playground.
The fourth wave of tickets can be snapped up via Shotgun, but we suggest pulling the trigger sooner rather than later.
