Le Festival
We took our mics to Le Festival 2026. Live recordings, artist interviews, and the sound of a whole francophone weekend in Brisbane. This week's episode is that weekend, captured as it happened.
Elya, a young Belgian singer currently in Australia, gave us her voice. Heilani brought Polynesian dance and everything that comes with it. Avalon Swing had people moving before they realised it. Fanfare Malawi travelled from New Caledonia and turned the place into a brass parade. Chantefique and Jardin d'hiver reminded us how far French song can travel. Mzaza, with Pauline Maudy, gave us that unmistakable border-crossing sound. Celine Mathis from Soul Sound took things somewhere quieter and deeper. Creative Brisbane and Class Act Creative kept the whole thing alive, on stage and off.
To every artist, volunteer and organiser of Le Festival 2026: merci. You made a francophone weekend feel like home in Meanjin.
