Headed to the Yvelines for a standout edition of the Fête de la Musique: this year, Les Clayes-sous-Bois pulls out all the stops with a program spread over two days, June 20–21, 2026. The official main celebration takes place on Sunday, June 21 at the Place Charles de Gaulle, but the town comes alive from Saturday, June 20 as local shops, restaurants, associations and residents roll out concerts, evenings and activities throughout the day.
For this 2026 edition, the town hall wanted to kick off the festivities in the early afternoon to welcome a crowd of all ages. The forecourt of the Philippe Noiret Space and the Charles de Gaulle Square transform into a genuine open-air dance floor, in a guinguette vibe that we particularly enjoy during this summer season. Dancers, singers and musicians take turns on the big stage until 10:30 PM, with an eclectic lineup blending rock, pop, electro, country, dance and DJ sets.
On the program for Sunday, June 21, here’s what to expect:
This closing date is set to thrill British rock fans: the evergreen hits of The Police, the legendary 1980s band fronted by Sting, given a live reimagining, and it always stands out. A must for both nostalgia buffs and the curious.
The atmosphere is incredibly family-friendly. From 3 p.m., food trucks roll onto the forecourt, ready to feed you at any time with a varied lineup of savory and sweet options. It’s perfect for spending the afternoon and evening here without having to dash elsewhere for a bite. That’s what we love about this kind of city event: everything you need is gathered in one spot, so you can enjoy it without hassle.
Philippe Noiret Space, the emblematic cultural venue of Clayes-sous-Bois, hosts performances and cultural events year-round. It is perfectly suited for this kind of outdoor gathering. The town, located in the Yvelines department (78), is known for enlivening its public spaces with events accessible to all, and this 2026 Music Day is a prime example.
Admission is free. To get the full weekend lineup, head to the official website of the town of Les Clayes-sous-Bois.
In the surrounding area, other towns in the Yvelines department are also putting on standout musical evenings: Music Day 2026 in Versailles featuring funk, pop and electro, or Marly-le-Roi’s celebration with an orchestra and pop-rock covers.
