And it all starts on June 16th, with a musical experience led by Lenine and Spokfrevo Orquestra at the Théâtre du Châtelet, which will transport you straight to Brazil. We can also mention the rooftop session by Armin Van Buuren at the Centre Pompidou, the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to this institution. Grünt and Federap will also shake up the rap scene on June 17th and 18th, with a lineup featuring Ben PLG, Médine Atanaz, and BFG, marking the reopening of the Gaîté Lyrique. On June 19th, we're heading to rue des Lombards for the Jazz Scenes that will resonate in no less than 4 bars in the area. And of course, we can’t miss the Festiv4l the next day, which is back in great shape this year with Clara Luciani and Cerrone. This list is far from exhaustive, there are plenty more exciting events!Surprises await you in the complete programming found here.
An international festival
With its goal of shining a spotlight on musical talents from around the world, this inaugural edition of France Music Week is hosting a very special event, the Showcases of France Music Week. For 2 days, on June 18 and 19, as part of the International Exchange Days, French artists will perform at the Maison de la Radio in front of a delegation of no less than 70 individuals from the international music industry. It’s a fantastic opportunity for artists to expand their network, and for the audience to discover the greatest French talents of tomorrow.
