The Rock en Seine festival canceled in 2027 due to "development work" around the Saint-Cloud estate

The Rock en Seine music festival, held annually at the end of August near Paris, is canceled in 2027 due to construction work. Organizers announced the decision on November 6, stating that unprecedented constraints prevent them from hosting the festival as needed. Significant roadworks near the site, including a nine-month closure of the Saint-Cloud tunnel, will impact access for attendees. The next edition is scheduled for August 23-27, 2028, with a possibility of a different event in 2027. Established in 2003, Rock en Seine has become a major music festival in France, featuring international artists like Rage Against the Machine and Billie Eilish. The festival faced cancellations in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2026, it attracted around 175,000 visitors.
