Fête de la Musique 2023 with Gasandji in Houilles (78)

It's an event that music lovers look forward to! Every June 21, live music resounds throughout France at the now-famous Fête de la Musique.

For more than 40 years now, this popular, festive and free event has inundated the many musicians eager to bring out their instruments and share their passion with as many people as possible. Every June 21 since the event was launched in 1982, the free concerts organized for the occasion have put a smile on the faces of many French people.

The Fête de la Musique showcases the diversity of the musical landscape, bringing together amateurs and professionals alike, and features a wide range of musical styles, from rock and jazz to rap, metal, classical music, blues, electro and reggae...

Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of good music deals to be had in Paris, with free concerts around every corner in several of the capital's arrondissements. Elsewhere in the Île-de-France region, there's no shortage of events either, like in Houilles.

This Yvelines town is once again taking part in the Fête de la Musique, inviting new talent to take over the Parc Charles-de-Gaulle. After welcoming La Dame Blanche last year, which artists have the honor of taking part in this Fête de la musique 2023 in Houilles?

On Wednesday June 21, 2023, the Yvelines municipality will be welcoming its residents to the bandstand in the Parc Charles-de-Gaulle from 6pm, to enjoy the sounds of young talent, the Parisian trio Music on Hold and Gasandji. For the 41st Fête de la musique, the singer will be offering a unique, free concert open to all.
