One of the most eagerly anticipated annual music events for artists and industry professionals alike, I’m talking about the Victoires de la Musique.

This year's ceremony will be hosted by Helena Noguerra, a fresh face for the event, alongside Cyril Féraud, who previously co-hosted last year's edition with Léa Salamé. Meanwhile, Mika has been named honorary president of the event, and Nana Mouskouri will receive a special Honorary Award. Indochine will also be honored with a special prize for their record-breaking Arena Tour. As always, the evening will be broadcast live in prime time on France 2 and France Inter.

In addition to the essential categories honoring the best female artists of the year, male artists, and breakthrough musicians, 2026 also introduces new categories: "Original Song", "Concert", and "Visual Production", not to mention the "Emerging Artist on Stage" award.

So, who are the lucky artists set to be recognized in 2026? Which stars might walk away with a trophy? This year, Theodora leads the pack at the 41st Victoires de la Musique with five nominations. Known as the Boss Lady, the rapper is followed by Helena—a former Star Academy contestant—with four nominations, and Charlotte Cardin, with three. Additionally, Santa, Miki, Orelsan, Disiz, and Feu! Chatterton each earn two nominations.

In the "original song" category, decided by public vote, nominees include "Fashion Designa" by Theodora, "Les filles les meufs" by Marguerite, "Mauvais garçon" by Helena, "Soleil bleu" by Luiza, and "Tant pis pour elle" by Charlotte Cardin.
