From July 3 to 5, 2026, get ready to catch Sabine Paturel, Phil Barney, the British singer‑songwriter and producer Leee John of Imagination, and Ottawan, the legendary duo who got everyone dancing with hits "D.I.S.C.O." and "Hands Up". More names will be announced soon, so stay tuned!

To ensure complete immersion, the Back to 1980 festival will also feature vintage decorations and eighties-inspired activities.

Billed as a major public celebration, the Festival Back to 1980 invites not only 80s nostalgia buffs but also fans of pop, disco, new wave, and variété, from July 3 to 5, 2026 in the heart of the Parc François-Mitterrand. On the ticketing side, expect €25 for a day pass.
