Aya Nakamura and The Weeknd at the Stade de France

2026 is packed with must-see concerts. The Stade de France in Saint-Denis is set to host an exceptional lineup of artists. Singer Aya Nakamura, whose album Destinée will come out in November 2025, will take the main stage for three already legendary shows on May 29th, 30th, and 31st, 2026. A month later, David Guetta will bring his Monolith Show to the venue on June 12th and 13th, followed by Canadian artist The Weeknd on July 8th. Later in the year, on October 5th, 2026, Fally Ipupa will set the same stage alight with his unique blend of Congolese rumba, afropop, and R’n’B.

Bad Bunny, the king of reggaeton, will perform at Paris La Défense Arena on July 4th and 5th, 2026, and deliver a show that has already reshaped the cultural landscape of his homeland Puerto Rico. After a fourteen-year hiatus, legendary live hip-hop group The Roots will be back on stage at the Zénith on July 9th, 2026. Tame Impala will perform at the Accor Arena on May 3rd, 2026, followed by Doja Cat on June 9th, 2026.

Tyler, The Creator at the Rock en Seine festival in 2026

Now a go-to event on the summer music calendar, the Rock en Seine festival will return 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.
