Free one-day mini-festival comes to Atabal on 6 June 2026 with live music, DJs, skate challenges, an art show by Ozzie Wright, a creative market and food trucks.

The Volcom Garden Experience returns for its 8th edition, and for the first time the mini-festival lands at Atabal in Biarritz. The event brings together different facets of the Volcom universe for one day: live music, DJs, skate challenges, an art show, a creative market, and food trucks — all in one place, with the energy of the local scene and the extended Volcom family. One of this year’s standout moments will be a special exhibition of works by surf misfit and artist Ozzie Wright, presented at Atabal and staying up for one month after the event, because one day of beautiful chaos just isn’t enough. The Volcom Garden Experience is a free gathering and open invitation to anyone into music, skate, art, and creative culture — a place to connect, roam, make a day of it, and celebrate the Volcom spirit. While there is no entry fee, access to the main indoor stage will be limited to a maximum capacity of 700 people.

Artwork by Ozzie Wright. He doesn’t really fit into a lane and that’s the whole point. Coming out of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, he built his name doing things his own way. In the water, that meant fast, unpredictable and progressive surfing that didn’t care much for scorecards. From unpredictable surfing to raw, instinct-driven art & music, he’s built a career doing things his own way. Ozzy’s work pulls from punk, cartoons, late-night thoughts and whatever else is floating around. Raw, a little chaotic, and clearly Ozzy. Then there’s music. A band that kick started a generation, the Goons Of Doom, are loud, unfiltered, and full of energy. Over the years, Ozzie’s become something bigger than a “surfer” or an “artist.” He’s a lifer. One of those rare ones who never played it safe, and never really separated work from play. That’s why he fits. Not because he ticks boxes, but because he never did.

ABOUT THE BANDS

IGUANA DEATH CULT
The Rotterdam band is reflecting on hardship and doubt while facing a burning world. The result channels their early punk and garage roots. Formed in 2014, the band has grown from a group of friends into a renowned international act, touring with bands such as Osees and Frankie And The Witch Fingers, supporting Jack White, and performing at SXSW, Levitation, and Desert Daze. Fresh off their new album ‘Guns Out’ (2026), the band strips things back to something rawer and more direct: sharp riffs, heavy rhythm, and a restless energy that hits hard but carries a reflective edge.

THE BIG IDEA
The Big Idea is a French collective out of La Rochelle that treats indie rock like a living, breathing experiment. Writing and recording as a tight-knit group, they stretch their sound from hazy psychedelia to off-kilter pop, often blurring the line between structure and spontaneity. Whether on record or on stage, their music feels in constant motion—playful, unpredictable, and just a little bit unrestrained, like a band following its instincts wherever they lead.

TWENTY ONE CHILDREN
Twenty One Children are the riotous punk pulse of Johannesburg—a fearless trio tearing up the rulebook and rewriting South Africa’s alternative music playbook. Their sound fuses the grit of U.S. skate punk with the heartbeat of Soweto, erupting in a whirlwind of noise, soul, and subversion. With sharp wit and an unshakable DIY ethos, they’re not just a band—they’re a movement. From building a local skate park to throwing benefit shows for schoolbooks, Twenty One Children bleed community. Their music crackles with the defiance of Dead Kennedys, yet pulses with a distinctly homegrown fire. After spending 2025 turning heads in the UK at The Great Escape and Dot to Dot, and touring Africa with punk legends DEATH, they’re only just getting started.

YAR

It is a Paris-based collective orbiting the edges of post-punk, noise, and experimental rock, self-identifying with the abrasive spirit of “No Wave.” What began as a spontaneous, short-notice backing project quickly solidified into something more unstable—and more interesting: a rotating lineup where structure feels optional and tension is the main engine. Their music—heard on debut releases like Hysteresis—leans into dissonance and urgency rather than polish, building dense, jittery soundscapes that feel both improvised and tightly wound.

FOGGY TAPES
Foggy Tapes is one of the familiar faces of Toulouse’s underground scene in recent years. Their “Sativa Rock” blends sun-drenched garage rock with a slightly loose edge, somewhere between 60s psychedelic surf and laid-back, slacker punk. ‘Cogito Ergo Fog’, recorded on a vintage Tascam cassette recorder, was released in July 2019 on vinyl via Le Cèpe Records and Howlin’ Banana, before landing a few months later on cassette through Burger Records, the cult Californian garage psych label of the 2000s.

COLD STRESS
Cold Stress is a hardcore punk band formed in 2022 between Hossegor and Bayonne. Intense and incisive, their sound is driven by sharp riffs, punchy tempo shifts, and aggressive vocals. They draw inspiration from a constantly evolving hardcore scene, with an energy that fully translates live—sweat, urgency, and controlled chaos. After a self-titled debut EP released in late 2023 and a cassette edition via local label Dispear Records in early 2024, the band is set to release their first 12-track album on July 25, 2025, through the same label—this time on vinyl and cassette. In just three years since their first show, the band has played over eighty dates across France, driven by a single goal: give everything, and do it with urgency.
