Grand Palais summer: After Nef, three XXL DJ sets under the glass roof of the building

From June 6 to September 7, 2025, the Grand Palais becomes the coolest cultural HQ in Paris with its summer Grand Palais. On the program: three months of all-out creativity in a spectacular setting. Monumental exhibitions, live shows, in situ performances, fashion and above all... After Nef, a series of three DJ sets to get the Nave dancing like never before on July 8, 12 and 19, 2025.

But before the dancefloor heats up, it's time to marvel. All summer long, Euphoria, the world's largest event dedicated toinflatable art, takes over the Nave in an explosion of shapes, colors and lightness. Then, from June 13 to 29, Mohamed El Khatib 's carte blanche revisits the intimate with "Le Grand Palais de ma mère", in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou. As a bonus, a couture performance by Olivier Saillard, with Moda Povera V, will add a touch of fashion and poetry to this highlight.

But from July onwards, the After Nef evenings take over and set the glass roof alight:

• On July 8, the first evening takes the audience on a sonic trip through minimal techno, new wave, hip-hop and soul. Behind the decks: Awir Leon, Kukii live and the magnetic CHLOÉ. For bookings.
  
  
• On July 12, the mood shifts to ballroom culture. A waacking battle choreographed by Josépha Madoki paves the way for a wild night with Kiddy Smile, figurehead of voguing made in France, and the festive Horse Meat Disco, for a wild mix of house, funk and queer electro. Reservations required.
  
  
• Finally, on July 19, the After Nef closes in style with Nymed and Deena Abdelwahed, fusing 90s techno with contemporary Arab music.

The Grand Palais becomes the most vibrant stage of the summer. Culture by day, dance by night... art has never been so alive!
