The 2026 Hardronic Music Festival officially shattered records this year on the 18th of July, captivating our community with an unprecedented lineup of 12 bands rocking out across 2 massive stages! See here for details.

What began 37 years ago as a modest gathering on the terrace of Meyrin’s Restaurant 1 has evolved into a spectacular tradition. As the festival's popularity surged over the years, it relocated to the spacious fields of the CERN Prévessin site near Restaurant 3 to provide a larger venue with big stages.

Today, the expanded venue delivers eight nonstop hours of the finest live music, with bands alternating on two stages, all wrapped in an absolutely welcoming festival ambiance, with food trucks and a drink stand.

A big thanks to the over 40 volunteers who contributed to setting up everything at the festival, from stages and lights to tables and chairs, and to cleaning afterward. The association Aidforall took care of the beer stand, and all the profit was destined for charitable causes.

Whether you are a lifelong festival-goer or a first-time guest, join us for what has truly become a real "CERN National Holiday"!
