What would the world be without music? Not much... And what would a year be without festivals? The horror, I can tell you. But let me reassure you, there are plenty of music festivals in Paris and the Ile-de-France region. What's more, every year, new ones even make their appearance on Parisian soil.
Summer or not, music festivals are always in the news. From must-sees like We Love Green in the east of the capital and Solidays in western Paris, to Days Off, Rock En Seine, Fête de l'Huma and Les Inrocks Festival, to the famous Lollapalozza Paris and the more electro Marvellous Island.... There's something for everyone! Yes, 2025 is shaping up to be another musically rich year, and it's sure to delight our ears!
These music festivals are also an opportunity to take over places that may never have been visited before, such as theHippodrome Paris-Longchamp, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud, Base 217 in Essonne, the Seine Musicale and not forgetting the Bois de Vincennes... places that are green for some and mythical for others, where festivals feel so at home that they return every year to bring live music to life.
In terms of musical styles, once again, all universes are represented. From the rap of Damso and Laylow to the rock of Fat White Family and Voidz, from the electro of David Guetta and Joris Delacroix to the pop of the phenomenon Chappell Roan... Here's the program!
