For this 80th edition, Tiago Rodrigues, director of the Festival d'Avignon, invites us to look to the future: "This edition will be rooted in the future and projected towards the next eighty years of the Festival. It is to the future that the questions raised by the invited artists will be addressed, in line with Jean Vilar's utopia."
For the second consecutive year, the dates coincide with those of the festival off Avignon.
See you in early April to discover the programme for the Festival d'Avignon 2026.

Today, on the eve of their 80th anniversary in 2027, the Edinburgh International Festival, the Festival d'Avignon and the Holland Festival are joining forces for the first time, combining their artistic visions for a special collaboration that marks the beginning of a shared journey for years to come, adding a new chapter to their shared legacy.
What if I don't understand anything? Will I feel like I belong? Am I dressed correctly?
Faced with these questions that we have all asked ourselves, the Festival works to make performing arts accessible to all. The "Fisrt time" project was born out of the desire to answer these questions, to respond to a desire to feel at home or to make coming to a performance more comfortable.
This programme offers young people from Avignon and the surrounding area the chance to experience the Festival in a different way: shows, workshops, meetings with artists and social events during a three- to four-day stay without accommodation.
The Festival d'Avignon has joined forces with Making Waves to offer young people from all over France the opportunity to discover the world of live performance and learn radio and interviewing techniques.
