Ideas for festivals in Paris this summer

Ideas for festivals in Paris this summer

What are the main music festivals?

There are many music festivals in Paris and the Paris region. All musical universes are represented: electro with We Love Green, contemporary music with Solidays, rap at Lollapalooza Paris, rock at Rock en Seine, classical and jazz at the Parc Floral Festivals.

 

We Love Green

This Parisian festival dedicated to pop-electro music lovers is organised at the Plaine de Saint Hubert in the Bois de Vincennes from 2 to 4 June 2023. You can find the full programme on the event's website.

 

Solidays

Solidays is back in force this summer at the Hippodrome de Paris-Longchamp from 23 to 25 June 2023. This year, the festival celebrates its 25th anniversary and invites you to a memorable "Birthday Party".

With more than 80 concerts spread over nine stages, the programme has been designed to appeal to everyone. From rap to rock and techno, (re)discover established artists as well as new talents still unknown to the general public. Take advantage of the warm June evenings to sing and dance until 5am with your favourite artists or groups.

In addition to the music, the festival offers a series of inspiring lectures in the Social Club. Each speaker describes his or her worldview on societal and environmental issues.

 

Lollapalooza Paris

Let's stay at the Hippodrome Paris-Longchamp from 21 to 23 July 2023. Lollapalooza Paris invites all festival-goers who want to get together for a weekend of celebration. With a French Coachella feel, internationally renowned artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Rosalía, Stray Kids, Lil Nas X and Kygo have already been announced.

The little ones are not forgotten with Kidzapalooza, a stage allowing children to discover artists on a stage and to participate in games.

To eat, the Street Food Market offers you the best street food dishes from all over the world.

Rock en Seine

The Domaine national du Parc de Saint-Cloud will be animated by the return of Rock en Seine from 23 to 27 August 2023. For fans of the international pop-rock scene, you can sing and dance with Billie Eilish, Florence + The Machine, Placebo, The Chemical Brothers and The Strokes.

Other events await you: exhibitions, conferences and the Mini Rock en Seine, a festival away from the crowds dedicated to children aged 6 to 11.

 

Parc Floral Festivals

The Parc Floral Festivals invite you to an eclectic summer from 28 June to 6 September 2023. 32 free concerts of several musical styles will be given: classical with Classique au vert and jazz with the Paris Jazz Festival. Two exceptional evening events are organised on 24 and 30 August 2023.
