Who will take home the Flame for Female Revelation? Who will leave with the Flame for the featuring of the year? Who will have the honor of stepping on stage to receive the Flame for the Rap Album? A little more patience before we learn the winners and results of this fourth edition of the Flammes.
After two inaugural editions held in the prestigious Théâtre du Châtelet, the Les Flammes ceremony returns to its home at the Seine Musicale, located in Boulogne-Billancourt on the outskirts of Paris. For the occasion, 25 Flaming awards will be handed out to the lucky winners. Once again, a lineup of marquee artists is being announced, including Aya Nakamura, Theodora, Meryl, Josman, La Mano 1.9, and Ino Casablanca... So many talents eager to discover the list of laureates.
Scheduled for Thursday, April 23, 2026, the ceremony will once again be open to the public. For those who can’t attend in person, there’s an option: follow the Les Flammes ceremony from home.
This year, the Les Flammes ceremony is being broadcast live on TV. So, on which channel and at what time can you watch this awards show dedicated to rap and urban music? To find out, just tune in to France 4 and the networks of france.tv on 23 April 2026 from 9 p.m.. Les Flammes also announce that the ceremony will be shown live and simultaneously on TV5 Monde as well as on the Booska-P YouTube channel.
Remember last year, the event was aired on a delay from 23:00 on W9. This year, France Télévisions - already a partner of major music events such as the Victoires de la Musique, the Victoires de la Musique Classique, the Victoires du Jazz or the Foudres - therefore continues "its mission to showcase all musical expressions and to support the talents that keep the French scene alive", according to a press release. "By hosting a new ceremony dedicated to popular cultures, France Télévisions broadens its musical offering and participates in a dynamic that reflects the most streamed and most listened-to aesthetics today", it also notes.
