Rock en Seine 2026: Deftones, Turnstile, Interpol... the rest of the lineup by day

Rock en Seine has (already) announced its return to the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud! In 2026, the Parisian festival will be back with five days of concerts and festivities on Wednesday, August 26, Thursday, August 27, Friday, August 28, Saturday, August 29, and Sunday, August 30. On the program? The Cure, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and Tyler, The Creator, as well as Deftones, Turnstile, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, Amyl and The Sniffers, and The Black Keys.

Every year, this festival attracts thousands of spectators to the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud. I'm talking, of course, about Rock en Seine, which will once again be taking over theÎle-de-France region next summer. For this new edition, Rock en Seine will maintain its formula of five consecutive days of concerts and festivities, but will take place at the very end of August. Mark your calendars: Rock en Seine will be held on Wednesday August 26, Thursday August 27, Friday August 28, Saturday August 29 and Sunday August 30, 2026, still in the Hauts-de-Seine region.

In terms of programming, the organizers have unveiled the first headliners, starting with The Cure! The legendary British cold-wave band will give a special closing concert at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud on Sunday August 30, 2026.

Another band confirmed for 2026 at Rock en Seine? Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds! The famous Australian-born artist will return to the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud on Friday August 28, 2026, four years after his explosive performance at the Paris festival.

And that's not all, as Tyler, The Creator will also be taking part. The American rapper is scheduled to open the festival at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud on Wednesday August 26, 2026. This will be his only date in France in 2026. We recall that Tyler, The Creator took over the Accor Arena in April 2025 for two huge evenings. In the summer of 2026, the American rapper will make his return to Paris, with a unique concert at Rock en Seine. Please note that ticket sales (for the day of Wednesday August 26) open on Friday October 17 at 11am.

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.
