NINHO

Ninho , nicknamed " JEFE ", the rapper from Longjumeau, Essonne, was the first artist confirmed for the 2024 edition of We Love Green. After setting theAccor Arena in Paris alight in 2021, then Paris La Défense Arena in September 2022, and before the Stade de France in 2025, the rapper will be stopping off at the Bois de Vincennes on May 31 for what promises to be a supercharged set.

Ninho is the creator of several successful mixtapes, including"MILS" in 2016, and of certified opuses, including"Comme prévu" and"Destin". His fourth and latest opus, entitled"NI", was released on June 30, 2023 on the JEFE Production label. To (re)discover some of Ninho's greatest hits live, join us at We Love Green on May 31!

BURNA BOY

Another big name on the bill at We Love Green on Friday, May 31, 2024? Burna Boy! Considered a major figure in Afrobeats, Burna Boy has 8 albums to his credit to date, including"African Giant" (2019),"Twice as Tall" (2020) and"I Told Them..." (2023).

The Nigerian singer-songwriter is also known for his many featurings, with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Usher and Justin Bieber, Lily Allen, J Balvin and Jorja Smith. Proof of its fame, Burna Boy won a Grammy Award in 2021 for Best World Music Album. On May 31, Burna Boy is set to set the Bois de Vincennes alight at this latest edition of We Love Green. So don't miss out!

SHAY

Following her fine performance at the Théâtre du Châtelet during the last Flammes ceremony, Shay will land at the Bois de Vincennes on May 31, 2024 for the new edition of We Love Green. As a reminder, it was in 2016 that Shay came to the attention of the general public via the release of her debut album"Jolie Garce". Three years later, she made a comeback with her second album"Antidote", followed by"Pourvu qu'il pleuve" in January 2024.

The Belgian rapper, who won a Victoire de la musique award (best audiovisual creation) in 2024, intends to light up the new edition of We Love Green on May 31 with her songs, some of which have become real hits.

PARIS TEXAS

Ever heard ofParis Texas? I'm not talking about Wim Wenders' 1984 film, but about the North American duo Louie Pastel and Felix.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Paris Texas released their debut opus,"Mid Air", in July 2023. Unveiling an effective, catchy alternative hip-hop sound, some were quick to compare them to OutKast or King Krule. But Paris Texas is different. And we strongly advise you to pay close attention to their show on May 31 at Bois de Vincennes!

MERYL

A champion of West Indian rap, Meryl arrives at We Love Green this spring! Don't miss the performance of this engaging and committed artist. Singing in French and Martinique Creole, and evoking strong social issues, Meryl has recently been stepping up her featurings with Josman, Natoxie and Le Juiice.

To discover the phenomenon live, nominated at the latest Victoires de la Musique awards in the " Female Revelation of the Year " category, head to We Love Green on May 31st!

Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive, and there are plenty of other bands not to be missed on May 31, 2024 at We Love Green. What are you planning to see and hear on Friday at Bois de Vincennes?
