In life there are die-hard fans of electronic music, the aficionados of classical music, the devotees of hip-hop, and the metalheads who worship heavy sounds. And, of course, there are the lovers of rock, buzzing with blistering riffs, hypnotic beats, and basslines that just won’t quit.
For you, dear rock fans, know that Paris is set to welcome a whole slew of rock artists and bands of every stripe, likely to have you jumping around like crazy.
It's worth noting that numerous Parisian concert venues open their doors each year to this inescapable musical style beloved by many, young and old alike. We’re talking, of course, about the Elysée Montmartre, the Maroquinerie, the Boule Noire, the Trabendo, and the famed Olympia.
Some venues, even larger and more impressive, host rock artists and bands year-round. In recent months, Placebo and the Arctic Monkeys have in particular turned the Accor Arena in Paris upside down in the 12th arrondissement, while Muse set the crowd alight at the unmissable Stade de France, in Seine-Saint-Denis. For its part, the legendary Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band made waves with two exceptional shows at Paris La Défense Arena, in Hauts-de-Seine.
In the near future, more rock bands are set to do the same, paying tribute to this distinctive musical genre that brings together countless rock fans for a lively and welcoming gathering.
