For over 40 years now, the Fête de la musique has been thrilling us every June 21 with a host of free concerts of all kinds. Rock, rap, classical music, jazz, blues, electro, metal, pop, French variety, zouk, reggae... Every year on the same date, the Fête de la musique puts a smile on our faces and gets us dancing all over France.
In Paris, many singers and musicians take to the streets to make live music resound. Taking to the sidewalks, squares, parks and gardens, museums, churches and even bars and restaurants, budding artists and professionals alike cherish this popular and festive event more than anything else!
A quick reminder: the country's first Fête de la Musique was held in 1982. The event was the brainchild of Jack Lang, then Minister of Culture, Maurice Fleuret and Christian Dupavillon, architect-scenographer and cabinet member. Their idea? To launch a major popular event enabling all musicians to play and make a name for themselves during a festive evening.
And it's been a success for over 40 years now! Every June 21, music resounds from every street corner, to the delight of live music fans.
So, what's on the agenda for the Fête de la musique 2025 in Paris? While some events, such as the 36h Saint-Eustache festival and the France Inter concert at the Olympia, are must-sees, other musical highlights are also attracting crowds. If you're looking for a concert to take you on a trip without leaving the capital, then we've got just what you're looking for. Brazilian batucada, Irish rhythms or Japanese drumming... Here's where you'll find all the music you need to get away from it all!
