An evening of listening to French punk while admiring street art—does that tempt you? To make the most of this deal, head to Spot 13 in Paris on Sunday, June 21, 2026.

Note: due to the red heatwave alert in the Île-de-France region, some events of the Fête de la musique 2026 may be canceled, postponed or altered. Check the latest information before you head out.

A fresh edition of the Fête de la Musique arrives this year on a Sunday. An opportunity to enjoy a lively musical evening without the stress, right in the heart of the weekend.

As every year at this time, all genres take center stage: rap, rock, pop, electro, classical, jazz, blues, reggae, and even metal, R&B, salsa... For an entire day, aspiring musicians dust off their instruments and spill into the streets, letting the sound of live music resonate.

Since 1982, the year the Fête de la musique was launched in France, this popular and festive celebration is a chance to gather with friends, family, or partners around music in all its forms. While many concerts spill onto the streets—across squares, parks and gardens, or into cafés, bars and restaurants—some artists take over unconventional venues, from churches to street-art spots!

This year, Spot 13, a temple of open-air urban art in Paris, is taking part in the Fête de la Musique. For those who haven’t yet heard of Spot 13, here’s the gist: it’s an association dedicated to promoting urban art through the management and use of any public or private space placed at its disposal. Spot 13 is also known for hosting an open-air exhibition space. Urban-art fans flock to the 13th arrondissement to admire murals by Parisian, regional, and international artists, both emerging and established. The frescoes are continually refreshed, offering a new discovery with every visit. Since its inception, more than 300 artists have been showcased at Spot 13, while about 200 visitors drop by each week—over 11,000 annually!

On Sunday, June 21, 2026, for the new Music Day, Spot 13 throws open its doors to punk music and welcomes about fifteen bands that shine a spotlight on this essential genre. Titled "The Parisian punks take the air 4", this event invites you to join in from 1 p.m. to ride the rhythm with acts like Kankre, Pourquoi Pas, Ghost Bastards, Poulpe Friction, and also Les Caballeros and Katillers.
