Organizers of Synthfest France have announced that this year’s event will be held April 17-19 in the Nantes region.
SynthFest France is the leading French gathering dedicated to synthesizers and electronic musical instrument manufacturers. Neither a trade show nor a purely musical festival, SynthFest is described as a “meeting place for synthesizer manufacturers and electronic musical instrument enthusiasts.”
The event will feature exhibitions, masterclasses, concerts, discussions, synth rarities, tutorials and more. As in previous years, the event will also feature a raffle (tombola).
This year’s SynthFest will be held outside the city center at the Fleuriaye Convention Center in Carquefou. Access is available by tram and bus.
- Thursday, April 16, the event will be open only to Exhibitors / B2B.
- Fri April 17 – Sun April 19, the event will be open to the public.
Details are available at the Synthfest France site.


So many innovative French companies out there. Shout out to Expressive E for Osmose and all the cool VSTs and presets 🙂
It’s a great event. The place to be in France for synth lovers 🙂
One of the greatest event in Europe, a good mix between vintage collectors, new brands, major brands, modular, software…
A very nice event, full of passion. A good mix of vintage passionnates, new gear, modular, DAW/Software. This is quite a big event, now!
I’m never able to attend excellent events like this because they always clash with working on the April and November VEMIA auctions. Ironically I’ll only be able to get to them after I finish running the auctions in mid-2026.
Have a good one!

I will be there this year once again for all 3 days!
It’s a very nice and quiet (yes quiet!) event, everybody is nice and you end up talking during hours about your passion 🙂
Ok, this time, I’ll manage to get there, hopefully, every year I tell myself I will and something prevents me to attend… New place, new start: This time I’ll make it! 😀
