10–14 June 2026 | Cité de l’Océan, Avenue de la Plage, Biarritz, France
Fifteen editions later, the flame is still burning. Wheels and Waves returns to the Basque Coast for its 15th edition in June 2026, and Indian Motorcycle — a supporter of the event since its earliest days — returns once again as a confirmed brand partner with a stand and test rides on site throughout the five days.
Founded in 2012, Wheels and Waves has grown into a legendary event that attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world to experience a unique cultural mix where lovers of speed and thrills meet on the Basque Coast to share their passion for two wheels and waves. In a world saturated with uniformity, Wheels and Waves stands as a stronghold for those who live their passion with intention, sincerity, and creativity.
The festival’s headquarters — the W&W village — is set up at the Cité de l’Océan in Biarritz, where custom motorcycle exhibitions, brand stands, craft demonstrations, and entertainment are concentrated. It is the community’s meeting point, where enthusiasts, builders, artists, and curious visitors gather in a relaxed and creative atmosphere. In 2026 the confirmed brand partners include Indian Motorcycle, Royal Enfield, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Triumph, MV Agusta, Vespa, and LiveWire — making the village one of the most impressive gatherings of motorcycle brands anywhere in Europe.
Village W&W — Cité de l’Océan Open daily from 10AM. Skate bowl, live surfboard shaping, custom motorcycle exhibition, brand stands including Indian Motorcycle with test rides, food and chill area, concerts and DJ sets, art exhibitions, and the Backyard Project. Village open until midnight or later on Wednesday opening night, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday closes at 6PM.
