Aya Nakamura and The Weeknd to perform in Paris in 2026

The year 2026 is packed with concerts you won’t want to miss. The Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, will host a stellar lineup. Singer Aya Nakamura, whose album Destinée came out in November 2025, will take the stage for three already legendary shows on May 29th, 30th and 31st, 2026.

One month later, David Guetta will light up the stadium with his Monolith Show on June 12th and 13th, followed by Canadian superstar The Weeknd on July 8th. Later in the year, on October 5th, 2026, Fally Ipupa will set the same stage on fire with his unique fusion of Congolese rumba, afropop, and R’n’B.

A$AP Rocky and Bad Bunny live in France

Another major event? Rapper A$AP Rocky will perform at the Accor Arena in Paris on September 30th, 2026. Then, the king of reggaeton will take over the Paris La Défense Arena on July 4th and 5th, 2026. Bad Bunny‘s show has already reshaped the cultural history of his native Puerto Rico. After a fourteen-year absence, legendary live hip-hop group The Roots will return to the stage at the Zénith on July 9th, 2026. Doja Cat is also set to perform on June 9, 2026.

Wu-Tang Clan, Olivia Dean and Hans Zimmer to perform in Paris

As for New York legends Wu-Tang Clan, they will light up the Accor Arena on June 10th, 2026, while British soul prodigy Olivia Dean will return to the venue on June 17th. Finally, Oscar-winning film composer Hans Zimmer will embark on a new symphonic tour across France, with performances on March 21st and 22nd, 2026, at the Paris Accor Arena, and on March 24th, 2026, at the LDLC Arena in Lyon. French rapper Damso will also make his long-awaited comeback next October.

Among the French artists to watch closely, Vanessa Paradis is currently on tour with her acclaimed new album. She has chosen the Zénith in Paris as the climax of her tour on May 21st, 2026.

Addison Rae and The xx at We Love Green festival in 2026

Regarding music festivals, the next edition of We Love Green, from June 5th to 7th, 2026, in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes, is shaping up to be a strategic turning point. The majority acquisition of the festival by American giant AEG, a leading concert promoter and producer, could well redefine the contours of this Parisian event. Tickets will go on sale this Thursday at 6pm. True to the festival’s identity, the lineup blends major international artists with sharp, rising performers.

On the international stage, the festival welcomes Gorillaz, the iconic project by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. They are expected to perform their new album, The Mountain, due for release in 2026. Also headlining this new edition, The xx, cult figures of British minimalist pop, and London rapper Little Simz, who is back for the second time. In June 2025, her album Lotus won over the most sophisticated music aficionados.

Addison Rae, the TikTok star turned dance-pop phenomenon, stands out as one of American pop’s brightest hopes and will likely boost ticket sales. The lineup also includes Mac DeMarco with his laid-back indie, lofi sound, DJ and producer Charlotte de Witte, folk-goth singer and fashion muse Ethel Cain, experimental genius Dijon, and violinist Sudan Archives.

Theodora is back on the We Love Green stage

The Francophone scene will of course answer the call, led by Theodora, whose spectacular rise has finally earned her a stage worthy of her stature. She had already performed at We Love Green in 2025, but this time she is back as a headliner. French producer Oklou‘s presence is also highly anticipated. FKA twigs‘ collaborator will present her album choke enough (2025), hailed by numerous media as the best record of the year.

Feu! Chatterton, a leading voice in literary rock lyricism, will perform Labyrinthe, a dense tableau of contemporary wandering and inner resistance. Meanwhile, Sébastien Tellier, an eccentric figure of both French touch and French pop, will unveil his new album Kiss the Beast, produced in collaboration with SebastiAn, Kid Cudi and Nile Rodgers. Slated for release on January 30th, it is already being touted as one of next year’s major events.

Tyler, The Creator at the Rock en Seine festival

Now a go-to event on the summer music calendar, the Rock en Seine festival will take place from August 28th to 31st, 2026, at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud. Among the first names unveiled is Tyler, The Creator, already topping the lineup. A promising explosive set combining tracks from his albums Chromakopia (2024) and Don’t Tap the Glass (2025). Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are also expected to perform.

On August 30th, 2026, The Cure will close the festival. Last year, the organizers were forced to deal with last-minute cancellations from headliners A$AP Rocky and Doechii, disrupting what had been one of the most eagerly-awaited editions.
