Every year, this festival attracts thousands of spectators to the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud. I'm talking, of course, about Rock en Seine, which will once again be taking over theÎle-de-France region next summer. For this new edition, Rock en Seine will maintain its formula of five consecutive days of concerts and festivities, but will take place at the very end of August. Mark your calendars: Rock en Seine will be held on Wednesday August 26, Thursday August 27, Friday August 28, Saturday August 29 and Sunday August 30, 2026, still in the Hauts-de-Seine region.

On the lineup, the organizers have revealed an exciting lineup featuring some big names, starting with The Cure! The legendary British band will perform a special concert at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud on Sunday, August 30, 2026, closing out the festival.

Another band confirmed for 2026 at Rock en Seine? Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds! The famous Australian-born artist will return to the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud on Friday August 28, 2026, four years after his explosive performance at the Paris festival.

And that's not all — Tyler, The Creator will also be making an appearance. The American rapper is scheduled to perform at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, kicking off the festival. This will be his only show in France in 2026.

Craving more? Rock en Seine has just announced the return of Californian metal giants Deftones, led by Chino Moreno. Also on the bill are Turnstile, Landmvrks, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, Biffy Clyro, and The Black Keys.

The 2025 edition of Rock en Seine was held on August 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Festival-goers were treated to 89 concerts on 5 different stages (Grande Scène, Scène Revolut, Scène Bosquet, Scène Horizons and Scène Nouveaux Talents). Chappell Roan had the honor of opening the festival on the first evening. The following days, the Americans of Queens of the Stone Age, the band Vampire Weekend, the Irish of Fontaines D.C., the Australians of Empire of the Sun, and the French of Last Train and Justice lit up the Rock en Seine site. Unfortunately, this line-up wasn't enough to attract as many festival-goers as last year. As a result, 150,000 festival-goers attended this 2025 edition of Rock en Seine, 30,000 fewer than in 2024, which also saw record attendance.

So, will the 2026 edition of Rock en Seine succeed in attracting more festival-goers than this year, and do as well or better than in 2024? Find out next summer. In the meantime, mark your calendars for August 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30.
