The summer season is eagerly awaited by many live music lovers. At this time of year, Parisians and Ile-de-France residents take advantage of the opportunity to take a vitamin D cure and fine-tune their tan. Others prefer to take advantage of the month ofAugust to fill up on live music thanks to festivals organized all over Paris and the Ile-de-France region. While most of these musical events take place in July, August is still a great time to dance the night away to the sounds of numerous bands and artists, both French-speaking and international.
The proof is in the pudding with Rock en Seine. Held every year at the end of August, Rock en Seine is one of the must-attend musical events on the outskirts of Paris. Primarily a rock festival, in recent years the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud has opened up to other styles, such as electro and rap. Rock en Seine concerts are also being held over longer periods, with no less than 5 days of festivities expected in the Hauts-de-Seine region this year!
Other music festivals put a smile on the faces of Parisians and Ile-de-France residents every August, such as the Paris Jazz Festival and Classique au Vert, to be discovered every summer in the bucolic green space of the Parc Floral de Paris. And let's not forget Elektric Park, dedicated to lovers of electronic culture and located in the Yvelines region!
