This Saturday, June 21, the music festival will invest in public space throughout France, and more particularly in Paris and Île-de-France, where the event promises to be overlooking again. Outdoor concerts, DJ sets, pop, electro, hip-hop or even sounds from the north: programming combines styles and atmospheres, to meet all desires. From major scenes to more confidential meetings, the region will vibrate in the rhythm of countless proposals. To find yourself there in this generous offer, this selection guides you to the most promising events of the evening.
A large format concert at the Louvre
This Saturday, the Louvre gardens will host one of the highlights of the Music Festival, with an outdoor concert which promises to be as ambitious as it is symbolic. It is France Music Week which signs this evening of closing, in a decor as prestigious as steeped in history, at the foot of the reinstalled Olympic basin for the summer. The idea: to mix music, heritage and strong message, by bringing together an eclectic scene which brings together genres and generations.
Christine and the Queens, Camille, Jeanne Added, Major Lazer Soundsystem or the woman will deliver covers of emblematic songs with committed accents. On the program, titles like Redemption Song, What’s Going On or Resistantchosen for their humanist scope and their collective resonance. A way to put music in the news, while celebrating its ability to bring together.
An evening orchestrated by France Inter at Olympia
It is also Olympia’s turn to vibrate its walls for the Fête de la Musique. A legendary place if there is one, the Parisian room welcomes France Inter for a live evening, where the flagship artists of the station’s musical program will pass from radio to the stage. An event thought as a natural extension of the waves, but in live and embodied version.
Clara Luciani, Benjamin Biolay, Yamê or Giorgio are expected to resonate their voices under the red letters of the facade. The opportunity, for the public, to discover these artists in an intimate and prestigious setting, during a unique concert.
Brazilian rhythms and festive atmosphere in La Villette
The Villette district will take on Rio with the return of Yolande Do Brasil, a colorful color training well known to lovers of Batucada. This 100 % percussion Parisian collective promises a total immersion in the energy of Brazil, from the early hours of the afternoon. The festivities will extend until late in the evening, with rhythmic stroll along the Ourcq canal.
The highlight of this musical day will be played at the Stalingrad rotunda, where musicians will close their journey with an open -air collective performance. A festive and accessible meeting, where the public is invited to follow the procession, dance, listen, and take advantage of this musical parenthesis in the heart of the 19th arrondissement.
Cambodia in music in the heart of Paris
The Guimet museum takes a step aside in the Parisian program of the Fête de la Musique by devoting the entire evening to the Cambodian scene. Traditional music revisited in the most sharp electro sets, this singular proposal, imagined with the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, vibrates Paris to the rhythms of Southeast Asia. From 3.30 p.m., the auditorium welcomes a listening session commented by the ethnomusicologist Renaud Brizard, before the party took off on the museum rooftop and opens towards the outside, to the Place d’Iéna.
Under the leadership of Asian Core, an emerging platform carried by Laetitia Muong, the evening continues in the open air with the DJ sets of Maggie Tra and Evk. In the background, the Eiffel Tower. An assumed way of combining cultural transmission, party and visibility, in one of the most emblematic museums in the capital.
Super Bock deploys its XXL party block in all Paris
The Block Party orchestrated by Super Bock will invest more than forty places through Paris, for a 2025 edition which assumes its ambition: to resonate all styles. From noon to four in the morning, the collectives will be linked in bars, lessons, sidewalks and back rooms, mixing jazz, rap, techno or indie rock in the same uninhibited festive momentum. The event, which now takes on the appearance of a festival, is betting on the ultralocal while stirring genres.
Among the highlights announced, the Bae Party will transform the Café de Paris, rue Oberkampf, on the electronic track where House and Trance will alternate, while a Soundsystem Cracki Records electrify the east of the city. Captain Roshi, Dimh-Todo and Rad Cartier will settle in the 18th century, while the duo formed by Jäde and Nelick will deliver a four-handed set to Slice, in the 20th century.
A night of swing at 38riv
From 11 p.m., the 38riv opens his cellar to the swing tones for a Jam Session led by Benjamin Dousteyssier. Acclaimed saxophonist, passed by Marciac, the CNSM and the National Jazz Orchestra, he will be surrounded by Slim Chikahoui at La double bass and Pierre-Eden Guillbaud on drums. The introduction will be made of trio, before giving way to improvisation, unexpected dialogues between confirmed musicians and young talents who came to share their energy. Piano, battery and double bass are available, the entrance is free, the music accessible.
Installed in the Marais, the 38riv has established itself as a precious address for jazz lovers. Its intimate framework, nestled under the stones of the 12th century, offers an ideal setting for musical exchanges. That evening, we come as much to listen as to playing, to feel this dynamic specific to the JAM sessions, where virtuosity mixes with spontaneity.
Brazilian funk invites itself to the teasing glass
On June 21, it was at the teasing glass, in the 10th arrondissement, that the raw energy of Funk Carioca will shake the Parisian night. For his first in Paris, the Preto Novo collective does not do things by halves: an evening thought like a sound manifesto, a rhythmic shock between Rio and Paris, where we celebrate both party, heritage and freedom. At the heart of this large musical mix, the expected presence of Bonde Das Maravilhas, icons of Niterói and pioneers of a female funk, marks a turning point. On stage, they will be accompanied by artists with singular universes.
Behind the turntables or at the microphone, everyone embodies a facet of this effervescence scene. DJ Ramon Successo, truck of the genre, Broodoo Ramses and its mystical vision of dancefloor, Andy 4000 and its radical selections, but also Sabrina Ginga, Gzebel, Stéphane Sacré or Lago Cedrick.
Midsomomar meets music festival in the marsh
The Swedish cultural center, nestled in a peaceful courtyard in the Marais, will mix two summer traditions in one evening this year. While the Fête de la Musique will animate the streets of Paris, the place chooses to graft Midsommar, this Swedish celebration of the solstice which pays homage to nature and light. An original way of making cultures and seasons dialogue, by inviting the public to discover another way of celebrating summer.
On the program, an introduction with traditional dances and songs, followed by three concerts carried by artists who came straight from Sweden. Juno Francis, Tomod and Olof Dreijer will resonate the paved court with a more current sound, between refined electro and inventive pop.
Multiphonix vibrates the avenue de la Motte-Picquet
The avenue de la Motte-Picquet will welcome the Multiphonix group for a concert. Trained by the brothers Il Woong and Young Woong SEO, this Franco-Korean duo offers an electro pop sung in French, English and Korean. Since its creation in 2016, the group has forged a singular identity mixing cultural influences and contemporary sounds. With several albums to their credit and a solid presence on the independent scene, the two musicians promise a rhythmic and accessible moment, in a friendly atmosphere.
A new breath at the House of Metallos
The House of Métallos opens large its doors for a musical moment as free as the entrance. In this place anchored in the heart of the 11th arrondissement, where the industrial past dialogues with contemporary creation, it is OFE which will hold the scene. The rising figure of a French pop freed codes, the artist promises a singular concert. Alone at the controls of her pieces, which she writes, composes and produces, OFE transforms the tray into a laboratory where introspection and raw energy intersect.
At the crossroads of genres and influences, this musical evening celebrates both audacity as accessibility. The event, carried by the Maison des Métallos and entirely free, is part of an assumed desire to make music a common good, open to all.
