Have you been eagerly waiting for it? Great news: it’s back! The Fête de la musique returns on June 21, 2026, stronger than ever, with a slew of concerts as enticing as they are festive.
Every year on the same date, music lovers set out in search of the best electro tip, the classical concert to see in an unusual venue, the rock show that will transport them back to their teenage years, or the sunny, festive open-air by the water. Every June 21, all musical styles are celebrated: from pop to rap, including electronic music, French variety, world music, jazz, blues and rock.
So many events to discover in the street, of course, but also in a park or garden, in a museum, in a church, in a large institution or even in a bar or restaurant. While most of the concerts offered especially for the Fête de la Musique are free and open to all, some are only accessible by reservation, because the venue's capacity does not allow it to accommodate many spectators.
Others, even though the Fête de la Musique is defined as a free, popular event, charge admission after a certain hour.
So what does this latest Music Day have in store that you won’t want to miss on Saturday, June 21, 2026? To avoid any unwelcome surprises, check out the concerts that require booking in advance in Paris and Île-de-France.
