The concert on 4 and 5 July is just the start of a great summer getaway. La Défense and Paris are brimming with events throughout the summer of 2026, from open-air festivals to cultural exhibitions and open-air parties. Just a stone’s throw from the venue, the forecourt of La Défense is transformed every summer into an open-air stage. Les Extatiques take over the neighbourhood with spectacular art installations, whilst the Garden Parvis offers free concerts and entertainment.
In Paris, July means open-air cinema, artisanal ice cream and festivals that bring every arrondissement to life. Make the most of your visit to extend the experience far beyond the concert.
