The Fête de la Musique returns on Sunday, June 21, 2026 in Paris, and across France! It’s a chance to hit the streets again to sing, dance and discover free performances by bands and artists, whether cutting-edge or well established. Whether you’re into rock, jazz, electronic music, rap, metal, or classical music, you’re bound to find something you love, because the Fête de la Musique spotlights every style and genre for one unforgettable day.
In Paris and the Île-de-France region, concerts and DJ sets are piling up. To be heard on the streets, in a concert hall, or in unlikely venues like a museum or a church... the Fête de la musique 2026 is shaping up to be both vibrant and eclectic.
The Fête de la Musique was created in 1982 by the French Ministry of Culture. This mobilization of professional and amateur musicians, this new attention paid to all musical genres, became, through the immediate success of a popular event, the translation of a policy that intended to give their place to amateur practices as well as to rock, jazz, song and traditional music.
In just a few years, free concerts, the support of the SACEM, the media, the backing of local authorities and the ever-growing support of the general public would make this one of France's major cultural events. In fact, it began to be"exported" in 1985, to coincide with the European Year of Music. In less than fifteen years, the Fête de la Musique was taken up in over a hundred countries on all five continents.
