Chappell Roan: who is this artist, headlining the first night of Rock en Seine 2025?

After Billie Eilish in 2023 and Lana Del Rey in 2024, it's time for Chappell Roan in 2025! On Wednesday August 20, 2025, for the first night of its new edition, Rock en Seine is counting on a new female artist straight from the USA! You won't want to miss this new pop phenomenon. For several months now, Chappell Roan has been on everyone's lips. Revenge for a woman who has had a hard time making a name for herself in the industry, and who has had a string of problems with her label.

Chappell Roan, real name Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, released her debut opus in September 2023. Entitled"The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess", the record features several singles, including"Naked in Manhattan","My Kink Is Karma","Femininomenon","Casual","Kaleidoscope" and"Hot to Go!".

But the career of the young singer, born in Missouri in 1998, took an incredible and phenomenal turn in the spring of 2024, when her hit"Good Luck, Babe!" was released. The track reached 7 million listens in one week on Spotify and went viral on TikTok.

At the same time, Chappell Roan surprised everyone by singing in front of a human tide at Coachella in April 2024. The young artist, who was still unknown to the general public just a few months ago, repeated the experience a few months later by setting the record for the biggest daytime concert at Chicago's Lollapalooza!

It has to be said that the " Midwest Princess " knows what she's doing. With her acid pop universe, her 1980s synthpop songs and her extravagant, quirky looks, Chappell Roan has established herself as an essential artist on the international scene, to the point of being considered by many as the new queer icon.

Proof of her fame, at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024, Chappell Roan walked away with the award for Best New Artist. At the Grammy Awards, due to be held in February 2025, the young singer is nominated in 6 categories: Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year for"Good Luck, Babe!", Best New Artist, Recording of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance of the Year.

After supporting Olivia Rodrigo on her tour and performing in small venues such as Les Étoiles in Paris, Chappell Roan is now invited to headline the biggest festivals. In Great Britain, the Leeds and Reading festivals have confirmed the artist's appearance next summer.
