The 2025 edition of Rock en Seine was held on August 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Festival-goers were treated to 89 concerts on 5 different stages (Grande Scène, Scène Revolut, Scène Bosquet, Scène Horizons and Scène Nouveaux Talents). Chappell Roan had the honor of opening the festival on the first evening. The following days, the Americans of Queens of the Stone Age, the band Vampire Weekend, the Irish of Fontaines D.C., the Australians of Empire of the Sun, and the French of Last Train and Justice lit up the Rock en Seine site. Unfortunately, this line-up wasn't enough to attract as many festival-goers as last year. As a result, 150,000 festival-goers attended this 2025 edition of Rock en Seine, 30,000 fewer than in 2024, which also saw record attendance.

So, will the 2026 edition of Rock en Seine succeed in attracting more festival-goers than this year, and do as well or better than in 2024? Find out next summer. In the meantime, mark your calendars for August 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30.
