Great news for the many fans of the Music Day! The legendary, popular, and festive event is back on June 21 with yet another lineup of free concerts.
We should note that the Fête de la Musique was created in 1982 at the initiative of the Ministry of Culture. That year, the Ministry’s Studies and Research Department conducted a major survey of French cultural practices. It revealed that five million people, including one in two young people, played a musical instrument. Consequently, Jack Lang, Christian Dupavillon, the architect-designer and member of Lang’s team, and Maurice Fleuret envisioned a large, popular celebration aimed at giving every musician a platform to express themselves and gain visibility. The very first Music Day was launched on June 21, 1982—the symbolic midsummer day.
This year, the Music Day returns across much of France on Sunday, June 21, 2026, with a rich and eclectic program. In Paris and throughout Île-de-France, concerts are lining up, including in Noisy-le-Grand. The Île-de-France town in Seine-Saint-Denis once again takes part in the Music Day.
So, after welcoming Patricia Kaas, Cali, Nolwenn Leroy, Bénabar, Ben L’Oncle Soul, ZAZ, Kassav', Salif Keita, Chico & The Gypsies, Julien Clerc, La Compagnie Créole, not to mention The Rabeats, Véronique Sanson, and Michel Fugain, who has the honor of kicking off this new Music Day in Noisy-le-Grand? The Île-de-France town is whipping up a memorable day with music to discover in its various neighborhoods. A grand free concert is also slated for the Place de la Libération. Stay tuned to find out the headliner for this 2026 edition!
