Les Flammes 2025: a high-voltage edition between revelations, game giants, and XXL show

The Les Flammes ceremony returns on May 13, 2025, at La Seine Musicale, with a clear promise: to award 25 prizes to artists who make Francophone music shine. For the first time, public voting is at the heart of the game, giving fans the power to crown their favorite artists. Between headliners, rising stars, and ultra-targeted categories, this edition promises to be more open, more connected, and hotter than ever.

A new breath: fans take control
This is THE big novelty of this third edition: the public votes massively in major categories like “Album of the Year,” “Revelation,” or “R&B Track.” Until now, these awards were decided behind the scenes. Today, you hold the power. A hybrid voting system now combines jury opinions and popular votes for a more representative list of what truly resonates in playlists.

Categories tailored for all vibes
What sets Les Flammes apart from other ceremonies is the assumed musical diversity. In addition to classic albums and tracks, there are distinctions for Caribbean or African-inspired sounds, stage performances, album covers, and international features. A way to highlight all expressions of urban and popular culture in its current richness.

Big names... and well-placed outsiders
In the album of the year category, the race is tight between Booba (AD VITAM ÆTERNAM), SDM (A LA VIE A LA MORT), SCH (JVLIVS III), Shay, Tiakola, PLK, and Zamdane. On the revelations side, names like Theodora, Nilusi, Jolagreen23, or Genezio shake up the codes. The male artist flame could be contested between Ninho, GIMS, SCH, Werenoi, or Franglish, all heavily present in the charts. And for the female artist, fans of Aya Nakamura, Meryl, Shay, or Yseult have already made their move.

An event designed for the show
The ceremony promises a spectacular evening with live performances, special guests, and scenography tailored for social media. On May 13, all eyes will be on La Seine Musicale for a celebration of everything the Francophone scene produces at its strongest, hottest, and most authentic. A rendezvous not to be missed, especially if you want to see your favorite artists take the stage with a Flame in hand.
