Yardland 2026

Yardland returns to the Hippodrome de Vincennes for a 2026 edition that promises to bring together major figures from international rap and urban music. Expect rich and eclectic programming.

Yardland has established itself as a major meeting point for fans of urban cultures, and its 2026 edition at the Hippodrome de Vincennes is no exception. The festival is renowned for its ability to bring together artists from diverse horizons, ranging from rap to dancehall via more experimental sonorities, thus offering a unique platform for discovery and celebration of these genres.

This year, the programming highlights varied talents. Skepta, an emblematic figure of British grime, is expected. Originally from Tottenham, Joseph Junior Adenuga, his real name, played a crucial role in the emergence and popularization of grime since the early 2000s with tracks like 'Shutdown' or 'Man'. His raw approach and stage energy are hallmarks that have built his reputation well beyond UK borders. Alongside her, Spice, the queen of Jamaican dancehall, will bring her contagious energy and dynamic stage performances. Grace Latoya Hamilton, aka Spice, is known for her catchy tracks and major influence on the contemporary dancehall scene, with albums like '10' that have marked minds.

The festival will also welcome artists with distinct universes. Shannon, a South Korean singer, whose voice has managed to conquer an international audience, will bring a touch of K-pop and R&B. Kim, a Brazilian singer, promises to make audiences vibrate with his Latin melodies and unique style, reflecting the musical richness of his country. The stage will also feature Cherry Pie and Crystallmess, the latter being recognized for her bold sets and her exploration of the boundaries of electronic and experimental music, promising an immersive and striking sonic experience.

The diversity of artists at Yardland 2026 testifies to the festival's desire to offer a complete experience, where each genre and each culture find their place. This performance in Paris is an opportunity to discover or rediscover artists who are shaping the current urban music landscape, in a festive and unifying atmosphere. The Hippodrome de Vincennes, with its spacious setting, is the ideal setting to welcome this celebration of current music.
