Paris Fair, Paris Marathon, new exhibitions... InApril, there's no shortage of events and outings in the capital. But there's also plenty of music to enjoy, thanks to a large number of concerts to be discovered all over Paris. Whether rock, K-pop, metal, electro, rap, R&B, classical, jazz, blues or French variety... Throughout the year, all musical styles are given pride of place, delighting the ears of as many people as possible.
It's hard to talk about live music without mentioning Paris’s vibrant concert venues—and the surrounding Île-de-France region is no exception. Among the must-visit venues is undoubtedly Paris La Défense Arena. Nestled in the Hauts-de-Seine, it holds the title of Europe’s largest indoor arena.
On the other side of the city, some prefer Paris Bercy, a legendary venue that has hosted a string of top international artists. But many other concert halls also shine a spotlight on live music. Notable examples include the Zénith de Paris, the iconic Olympia, the Philharmonie, the Salle Pleyel, the Trianon, the Folies Bergère, the Grand Rex, and the Élysée Montmartre.
Others prefer smaller venues to get closer to the artists, such as La Maroquinerie, La Cigale, Le Trabendo, La Gaîté Lyrique, La Boule Noire, Petit Bain and Le Cabaret Sauvage.
Proof that Paris is as popular with artists as London and Berlin, the French capital has played host to a number of talented artists in recent times. These include Linkin Park, Taylor Swift, Sum 41, Nick Cave, Lindsey Stirling, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top, Beth Gibbons, PJ Harvey and Shaka Ponk.
And that's not about to stop. In April, new artists will be gracing one of these Parisian venues. So, what's on the agenda? Which artists and groups will soon be performing live in the capital? Find out without further ado what concerts you can't miss in Paris in April 2026.
