Violin Phonix's flashmob takes over the Eiffel Tower

At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the Violin Phonix duo is launching a new sunrise flashmob at dawn on Friday, July 31, 2026. And good news: you can attend, but registration is mandatory, as space is limited.

At the foot of the Tour Eiffel, in Paris’s 7th arrondissement, the duo Violin Phonix is rolling out its next flashmob at sunrise, on Friday, July 31, 2026. Touted as the duo’s most ambitious project yet, this event promises an unprecedented performance with details still kept under wraps. One thing is certain, though: entry is by registration only and space is limited.

Behind Violin Phonix are Christopher Cohen and Maxime Morise, two violinists trained at the Royal College of Music in London. The duo shot to fame by gliding their bows through the streets of the capital, from Adele to Star Wars, before building a huge community through flash mobs that went viral. Last winter, they co-organized with Julien Cohen the giant Christmas-lights flash mob on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which brought together hundreds of musicians and racked up millions of views in just a few hours. We were there and we can’t wait to see what’s in store this time.

This time, it’s the turn of the Eiffel Tower. Filming will take place on Friday, July 31, 2026, at sunrise, to capture the monument’s distinctive early-morning light. The duo keeps the content of the performance under wraps, and that secrecy is precisely what makes you want to be there. Access is strictly by registration required, via this dedicated form. With limited spots, it’s best to book yours quickly.

One essential point to keep in mind: there’s no point showing up unregistered. Access to the site will be strictly reserved for people who have registered in advance. Without a confirmed spot, you won’t be able to join the flashmob, even if you arrive on site. So be sure to fill out the form before you plan your visit, and don’t hesitate to share the link with friends drawn to the adventure.

Our take? This is an experience that truly stands out from the ordinary. Getting up at dawn to observe, or even appear in, a music shoot at the foot of the Tour Eiffel is the kind of Parisian memory you simply don’t pass up. The event targets music lovers, early risers, and anyone who wants to see Paris from a different angle, away from the rush of peak hours. A word of advice, though: wear good shoes and bring a little patience, because shoots of this scale often take time.
