A festival is not a concert: it is a programme spread over several days, several stages and often several places, sold as a pass or night by night. This page brings together events of that kind announced in Paris and its region, from club residencies run by a single venue to large open-air gatherings. The places involved range from the Grande Halle de la Villette to the Arènes de Montmartre, taking in neighbourhood stages such as Le Hasard Ludique or Supersonic and clubs like Le Baiser Salé that build their own series.

That variety of formats means reading the listing matters more here than elsewhere. A “festival” can mean a handful of nights in a hundred-capacity room or a full weekend on a lawn: the venue shown and the description are the only reliable markers. Ticketing also differs — a full pass, a single-night ticket, sometimes both — and that information belongs to the official seller, not to our catalogue.

You will find here every festival date announced, in chronological order, with the venue, the start time and a link to the official or partner ticket seller. Our coverage is Paris and its catchment area: events further out appear when they are attached to the Paris listings. Because a single event usually generates several dates, the same name may appear a few days apart — those are genuinely separate nights.

One last calendar marker: this is the most seasonal genre in the whole catalogue. Summer concentrates the open-air events, autumn and winter the club and venue series, so the length of this page varies sharply from month to month. A quiet stretch does not mean nothing is happening: it matches the real rhythm of the sector.

Frequently asked questions

Which music festivals take place in Paris?

This page lists every one announced in our catalogue, sorted by date, from single-venue series to large open-air gatherings. The venue and description state the format.

Should I buy a pass or a single-night ticket?

Both exist depending on the event, and it is not something we collect. The official ticket seller, reachable from each listing, shows the available options.

Why does the same festival appear several times?

Because an event running over several nights produces several dates in the catalogue. They are genuinely separate evenings, each with its own line-up.

Do you cover festivals outside Paris?

Our coverage is Paris and its catchment area: regional events appear when they are attached to the Paris listings. The exact venue is on each listing.
