Solidays 2026 festival canceled in Paris: scheduled at the ParisLongchamp Racecourse on June 26, 27 and 28, 2026 with Orelsan, Gims, or Bigflo & Oli, the 28th edition will not take place. Faced with a heatwave that is overwhelming hospitals, the police prefect asked the organizers to bow out, under threat of a ban by decree.

How can you reach the festival by public transport? What items are prohibited? What on-site services are available? Here’s everything you need to know about the 28th edition of Solidays at the Hippodrome ParisLongchamp!
If you're among the most eager to rediscover your favorite Parisian festival, here are the site's daily opening hours.
Obviously, there will be crowds gathering near the entrances. To prevent bottlenecks, an early opening is planned for Friday at 3 p.m. Solidays also urges festival-goers to reach the gates by 6 p.m. on Friday.
There are several ways to get to the Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, starting with public transport.
In the metro
Take the Line 10 of the metro, and get off at the Boulogne-Jean Jaurès station, then walk along Rue de Sèvres toward Neuilly to reach the public entrance.
Metro / RER, then free RATP shuttles
Another option? Take the Line 1 of the metro or the RER C and get off at the Porte Maillot station (exit no. 6, Boulevard André Maurois). Access to the festival is then via the free shuttles.
This year again, the Solidays festival has partnered with RATP to provide festival‑goers with free shuttles to and from the event. They can be boarded at Porte Maillot (use exit no. 3: Boulevard André Maurois)
Please note that from 10 p.m., the pickup point at Route de la Porte des Sablons will be relocated to Porte Maillot, at the stop for bus 244.
By Bike or Vélib’
For cycling enthusiasts, note that a giant Vélib’ station is planned for all festival-going cyclists. "Staff will be on hand to collect and deactivate bikes manually, enabling a storage capacity of 1,600 bikes on the 1,300-square-metre area set aside for this purpose" is the plan.
If you’re bringing your own bike, note that a free bicycle parking area is available along the Route de Sèvres to Neuilly. Be sure to reserve your spot in the locker now so you can come with peace of mind and park with ease.
Antenne Taxi G7
In collaboration with G7, Solidays is setting up a pop-up taxi stand at the festival exit.
In a car
For those opting to come by car, note that Solidays provides a 1,200-space parking lot located near the site. Heads up: spaces are limited, and Parking Passes cannot be purchased once the festival opens. Please note that Parking Passes will go on sale very soon.
Throughout the festival, Solidays offers a range of services, including a cloakroom. Located right after ticket checks, the cloakroom lets you drop off your personal belongings for the duration of the event. Expect €2 per item (including motorcycle helmets and bike batteries).
Other services available on site? A mobile charging service (available at the festival and the campsite), as well as merchandise.
Like most festivals, Solidays bans a number of items on-site, such as helmets, alcohol, parasols and umbrellas (except folding umbrellas), glassware and cans, selfie sticks, cameras and professional-grade gear, vehicles or rolling devices, folding chairs or tables...
What about the lost and found ? They must be collected at the festival's Info Point. "82% of lost items were recovered at the Info Point during the festival," says Solidays on its website.
Have a great festival, everyone!
