On the occasion of this year's Fête de la Musique, blues and rock will resound at Sunset Sunside in Paris. What's on the program for this lovely celebration scheduled for Sunday, June 21, 2026? Tributes to the Beatles, Elvis Presley, B.B. King, and Eric Clapton.

Do you love music? Are you feeling like celebrating it this year? Great news: the Fête de la Musique returns on Sunday, June 21, 2026 across France. In Paris and Île-de-France, the musical lineup is once again shaping up to be impressively rich.

Every June 21, musicians, both amateur and professional, bring out their instruments and sing loud and clear to bring music to life, and to celebrate music at this now-famous popular and free event.

As always, every style is represented: rock, pop, French chanson, electronic, classical music, rap, hip-hop, metal, reggae, blues, and jazz. Specifically for jazz and blues fans, we recommend you head to the Sunset Sunside, the essential Paris venue located in the heart of the capital!

Sunday, June 21, 2026, the Sunset Sunside invites you to celebrate a grand Music Day. This year, the legendary Paris club invites you to (re)discover the classic repertoire of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, B.B. King, and Eric Clapton. For the occasion, Sunset Sunside welcomes the Matthieu Boré Quartet and Big Dez for a series of tribute concerts scheduled between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Everything is, of course, free to enjoy, but please note that a drink purchase is required.
