Pully Live Festival
- Type
- Summer open-air festival (rock, pop, electro)
- Address
- Port et quais de Pully, Pully
The Pully Live Festival was born in 2023 on the quays of the port of Pully, on the shore of Lake Geneva. It took over from the Festival Pully-Lavaux à l’heure du Québec, long held on the heights of the town near the Collège Arnold Reymond and devoted to Québec song. Weakened by the pandemic and then by a deficit in 2022, that festival reinvented itself and moved down to the lakeside. Over four evenings at the end of June, a large stage facing the water hosts two concerts each night, before nearly 4,500 spectators in the paying area, in a mix of rock, pop and electro.
Pully Live: the lake in festive mood at the end of June
From the heights of Pully to the lakeside quays
For years Pully lived each summer to the rhythm of the Festival Pully-Lavaux à l’heure du Québec, a gathering of Québec song held on the heights of the town. After the pandemic years and a deficit in 2022, the event chose to reinvent itself rather than disappear.
In 2023 it came down to the water’s edge and became the Pully Live Festival, between the port and the quays, on a prime site facing Lake Geneva. The format changed, the festive spirit remained: four days of concerts at sunset, a stone’s throw from the centre and public transport.
A pop, rock and electro line-up
The first edition, in 2023, already brought together international names, from disco king Nile Rodgers to Swiss singer Bastian Baker, by way of hard-rock veterans Gotthard and Nazareth, DJ Bob Sinclar and the Bon Entendeur collective.
The following line-ups confirmed the span of genres: in 2026 the bill featured Ricky Martin, Kaytranada, Ofenbach, Jason Derulo and Boy George with Culture Club, whose voice once passed through the Rose d’Or in Montreux. Pully Live thus joined the constellation of summer festivals of the Riviera and the Lake Geneva arc, alongside a more intimate Nox Orae in La Tour-de-Peilz.
