How the Music Festival Became a Viral Phenomenon This Year

Aaah, the TikTok trends—what a huge topic! They come and go, often lasting even less time than Adil Rami's appearances in a World Cup match (just a little reminder: in 2018, it was 0 minutes). So, most of the time, we must admit that we pay pretty little attention to them. But lately, there’s been one trend that’s really caught our eye. And for good reason—it's about an event that's close to our hearts: the Fête de la Musique!

Coachella is Coming to Paris

Right now, on social media, the #fetedelamusique2025 has already racked up over 70 million views. This incredible feat is thanks to a strange fascination that’s developed across the globe for this event this year. And if the p... touches the whole world, it’s our British neighbors who seem the most motivated to make the trip to the capital for the occasion. On TikTok, you can indeed see quite a few people lamenting the fully booked Eurostar on the 21st, the overpriced Airbnbs, or simply a group of young people practicing how to say the phrase « Wesh, ça dit quoi ? ».

It clearly appears that some people, like this English woman who packed more than 15 outfits for 3 days, are mistaking this musical and family celebration for some sort of French Coachella. Just to remind you, Coachella is a huge California festival that is often confused with a fashion show, where people go more to showcase their presence on Insta than to actually listen to music.

The French Respond

Unfortunately, this international enthusiasm doesn’t make everyone happy, especially Parisians who view these visiting plans with skepticism. Many are reacting on social media to express their confusion or even to throw some sticks in the wheels of potential tourists. They are...

they recommend, for example, heading to Aubervilliers, Porte de la Chapelle or Évry-Courcouronnes, which are definitely the hot spots for the Music Festival this year. So, we're counting on you on the 21st to count the number of surprised English folks you bump into on the streets!
