Another Fête de la Musique. Every year, this popular, festive and convivial event features a host of free concerts and DJ sets throughout the day and evening of June 21.

All styles are represented on June 21: from rock and rap to blues and jazz, metal and electro, French variety and classical. The venues hosting these free musical events are just as numerous: from the street to concert halls, museums and institutions, bars and churches... the choice is vast, and you'll often find yourself lost when faced with so many musical offerings. That's why we've decided to help you in your quest for the best ticket to the new Fête de la musique on Saturday June 21, 2025 !

If you like to discover new musical talent while traveling, then head for the Irish Cultural Centre. As it does every June 21, the establishment awaits young and old alike in its courtyard, to give them the chance to experience a unique, exotic and warm Fête de la musique.

Inaugurated in 2002, the Centre culturel irlandais (CCI) is located in the Collège des Irlandais, the former home of a large Irish community of priests, seminarians and lay students, whose origins date back to 1578.

Nestled in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, the CCI houses a media library where the more curious can find a selection of books on the history of the place. Throughout the year, the Irish Cultural Center also offers a wide range of events, including meetings, exhibitions, shows and concerts.

On June 21, 2025, from 6pm to 10pm, for the new Fête de la Musique, the CCI is inviting Lullahush, Pólca 4 and Pillow Queens to its courtyard, three artists and groups reflecting the richness of the young Irish music scene, with a special focus on traditional and folk music. As always, admission is free. There will also be a refreshment bar provided by The Green Goose pub.

Fête de la musique 2025 at the Irish Cultural Centre: the program

Lullahush
Behind Lullahush is producer and musician Daniel McIntyre. Fusing Irish and contemporary electronic music, the artist released the EP "An Todhchaí" (or " future ") in August 2024. Since April 11, he has been at the helm of his first opus, "Ithaca", on which he continues this innovative experimental approach.

Pólca 4
Pólca 4 is made up of such experienced traditional musicians as Pádraig O Sé (accordion, vocals), Gary O'Brien (guitar) and Robbie Harris (bodhrán, percussion). Together, they have performed at numerous festivals, and have even been invited by President Michael D. Higgins!

Pillow Queens
Do you like real rock? Then you may have heard of Pillow Queens! In the space of four years, the band has released three albums, including 2024's "Name Your Sorrow". Offering a clever blend of indie-pop and grunge, Pillow Queens will delight lovers of sharp guitar riffs.
