A musical odyssey with the jazz world’s top talents and stars of tomorrow.

 

Classique au Vert; eternal classics

Each weekend from August 10th to September 1st, the Festival Classique au Vert will present concerts in the picturesque setting of the Parc Floral de Vincennes. You don’t have to be an ardent classical music lover or a fan of Mozart, Chopin and Debussy to appreciate this eclectic and open-minded event, which has something for everyone, whether you’re a neophyte or a connoisseur.

 

Rock en Seine, a 100% rock festival!

If there’s a Parisian music festival not to be missed, this is it! Since its birth in 2003, Rock en Seine has become the major music event of the Parisian summer, and the weekend of August 23rd to 25th will be no exception. As every year, the magnificent Domaine National du Parc de Saint-Cloud will provide the glorious backdrop for spellbinding performances of rock, electro and pop. Don’t miss the legendary English band The Cure, led by their iconic singer, guitarist and principal songwriter, Robert Smith. Other headliners this year include Foals, Eels, Major Lazer, Jorja Smith and Aphex Twin, as well as the great ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and many more!
