PLACEBO - Grande Scène - 23h00

The seminal rock band of the late 90s, Placebo are still going strong over 25 years after their debut. With no fewer than 8 albums to their credit, the band, led by frontman Brian Molko with his inimitable, nasally voice and bassist Stefan Olsdal, are invited to take to the Rock en Seine stage on August 25, starting at 11pm. On the program? A plunge into the past with some good old Placebo hits, as well as more recent tracks from the combo's latest opus,"Never Let Me Go".

FEVER RAY - Cascade Stage - 9:50pm

After years of making a splash with her brother in The Knife, Swedish singer-songwriter Karin Dreijer is now going it alone with her solo project Fever Ray. The Scandinavian artist - now a"gender fluid" - has already released three opuses, including her latest,"Radical Romantics", which showcases the full extent of her talent. Join us on August 25 at the Cascade stage to (re)discover her incredibly captivating universe!


BOYGENIUS - Grande Scène - 6.40pm

Made up of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, Boygenius is a brand-new musical project that's determined to make its mark on the 'supergroup' scene. With their debut album,"The Records", released in January 2023, the American trio is one of the most exciting talents on the rock scene today. Come and see them in concert at Rock en Seine on Friday, August 25!

VIAGRA BOYS - Cascade Stage - 5:40pm

They hail from Stockholm, Sweden, and have released three albums to date, including their latest"Cave World", released in 2022. For their Rock en Seine performance, Viagra Boys are likely to create a few uncontrolled pogos and over-the-top slams thanks to their devastating riffs and their very own black humor. Don't miss this musical rendezvous, which promises to be resolutely ebullient and sweaty!


TURNSTILE - Cascade Stage - 4:15pm

After thrilling many Hellfest festival-goers in 2018, Turnstile arrives at Rock en Seine on Friday August 25 for a show that's sure to turn the Cascade stage upside down. A product of Baltimore's hardcore scene, Turnstile has already released three albums with rich and varied featurings (Diplo, Blood Orange, Julien Baker...). So, are you ready to vibrate to the rhythm of a good dose of hardcore, punk and alternative rock?


Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive, and there are plenty of other bands not to be missed at Rock en Seine on August 25. And what are you planning to see and hear on Friday at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud?
