The Victoires de la Musique are set to delight many fans this Friday, though there may also be some disappointed faces. This renowned awards ceremony, which celebrates French-speaking artists and bands, is making its grand return on February 13, 2026, for its 41st edition, broadcast live from the Seine Musicale.
This year, artists such as Santa, Charlotte Cardin, Vanessa Paradis, Aya Nakamura, Orelsan, Feu! Chatterton, Disiz, Pierre Garnier, as well as Theodora, Helena, Miki and Ino Casablanca, L2B, and Sam Sauvage are among the nominees. However, several other awards will be presented on February 13 during the 41st ceremony, including a Lifetime Achievement Award to Nana Mouskouri and a special prize for... Indochine!
The renowned French rock band, which recently hit the road again and will be performing in Paris from February 24 to March 7, 2026, is set to receive a Special Award. "The Victoires de la Musique organization has decided to honor Indochine with a Special Award for their 'Arena Tour,' a record-breaking tour, during their 41stst edition this Friday, February 13, at La Seine Musicale," France Télévisions announced in a statement on February 11. It’s worth noting that Indochine’s "Arena Tour" kicked off in January 2025. With 110 sold-out dates and over 1.2 million fans in attendance, this tour has made history by selling more than one million tickets! And exciting news—this spectacular "Arena Tour" concert will soon be broadcast on TMC!

However, fans of the French band led by Nicola Sirkis are unlikely to see them perform this Friday night at La Seine Musicale; Indochine will be playing the same evening in Brussels. But other artists will definitely be taking the stage in Hauts-de-Seine, ensuring there will be plenty of live performances. Most of this year's nominees are set to hit the stage and put on a show. Audience members can especially look forward to live performances from Helena, Vanessa Paradis, and Feu! Chatterton, all appearing directly from La Seine Musicale.
To catch the 41st edition of the Victoires de la Musique, tune in this Friday, February 13, 2026, on France 2 and France Inter from 9:10 PM.
