Every summer, the Festival Durance Luberon brings an eclectic music programme to several villages across the South Luberon, with performances staged in remarkable heritage settings.
Jazz, opera, lyrical singing, world music, baroque repertoire and Latin rhythms come together in a series of summer evenings where music meets heritage and the Luberon art of living.
From La Tour d’Aigues to Mirabeau, Grambois and Lauris, concerts, musical aperitifs and performances take over castle courtyards and village squares in a warm and relaxed summer atmosphere.
While awaiting the next programme, discover below the highlights of the 2026 edition.
The Festival Durance Luberon brings together opera, jazz, lyrical singing, world music, polyphonic singing and baroque repertoire. Supported by volunteers, partners and host villages, the festival combines artistic quality, conviviality and a celebration of the heritage of the South Luberon.
From 7 to 22 August 2026, the 29th edition featured eight events combining jazz, opera, lyrical singing, Corsican songs, Cuban salsa and baroque music across several villages in the South Luberon.
