Rock en Seine adds 12 new names to the 2026 line up
From Wednesday 26th to Sunday 30th August, summer holidays may be drawing to a close, but celebrations will be in full swing on the lush lawns of the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud. A perfect reason to celebrate as the new season approaches? Rock en Seine will be in full flow, bolstered by a lineup of already announced artists including headliners Tyler, The Creator, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and The Cure. A bill that is already generous, but still revealing new surprises…
Today, the Parisian festival lifts the veil on Thursday 27th, a day that had so far remained shrouded in mystery… and which will be headlined by the incredible Lorde, the New Zealand-born global pop icon who needs no introduction, for a truly unmissable day. She will be joined by the lovable Djo, the musical alias of actor Joe Keery, as beloved for his role in Stranger Things as for his music, which sits somewhere between The Strokes and Tame Impala. Australian multi-instrumentalist Tash Sultana will also perform on Thursday, bringing their smooth pop infused with R&B, alongside her compatriot Sam Quealy, now based in Paris, who blends futuristic pop and hybrid techno with fearless ease.
The Friday 28th lineup grows stronger with three major additions: the fantastic Wet Leg, set to electrify this new edition with their irresistible rock whirlwind; indie rock veterans Wilco, who will remind us why, after more than thirty years, they remain one of the most inspiring references on the American independent scene; and the exceptionally gifted CMAT, Dublin-based singer-songwriter, who will prove she more than deserves all the hype thanks to her indie pop illuminated by country hues.
Three new acts join the already high-voltage lineup for Saturday 29th. Arriving straight from Philadelphia, the quartet Mannequin Pussy will unleash their fiery punk-noise anthems at the start of the weekend, alongside New York electroclash breakout Fcukers and California’s AFI, masters of a particularly impactful emo-hardcore cocktail that truly shines on stage.
Finally, two standout additions will bring the festival to a close on Sunday 30th, with the presence of gentleman Bertrand Belin, an enchanting voice on the French music scene who also shines as an actor and writer, as well as London group Dry Cleaning, a worthy British delegation of a post-punk movement in full resurgence.
Impossible to resist the promise of an idyllic extended weekend between the Seine and wooded nature, in the company of legends and exciting new discoveries!
