Why is Lollapalooza Paris 2025 shaping up to be one of the most vibrant music events of the summer?
Summary
After a year off due to the 2024 Olympic Games, Lollapalooza Paris makes its long-awaited return to the Longchamp racecourse. From July 18 to 20, the festival comes back with an explosive lineup, international vibes, a full sensory experience, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Here’s why this comeback deserves a direct spot in your summer.
Exclusive headliners to shake up Longchamp
It’s simple: some names at Lolla Paris won’t perform anywhere else in France this summer. Want to see Olivia Rodrigo, Justin Timberlake, or Benson Boone live? It’s happening at Longchamp. David Guetta will spin his decks on Saturday as part of his Monolith Tour, while Raye, Finneas, and Macklemore will add their touch of madness to an already strong lineup.
An eclectic and bold lineup
When it comes to discoveries, we’re well served. The festival focuses on rising talents like The Last Dinner Party, Lola Young, and Saint Levant, a revelation from the latest Francofolies. Canadians Jacob Collier and Mother Mother will complete this soundscape blending indie, jazz, raï, soul, hip-hop, and electro. On the electro stage side, the Perry’s Stage and the Sound System Stage will host an army of DJs: Trym, John Summit, Gordo, Busy P, Mathame, etc. Let’s just say BPM lovers will be well served.
A street food feast by star chefs
Lolla takes food seriously. The Lolla Chef area, sponsored this year by Jean Imbert, invites top chefs like Stéphanie Le Quellec, Mory Sacko, Cédric Grolet, and Jade Genin to offer their signature dishes between 8 and 14 euros. Perfect for chilling while enjoying high-level food without breaking your budget.
Wellness, chill, and zen vibes between concerts
Need a break? Head to Lolla Wellness, a new free space where you can get a massage, enjoy a nail bar, try a yoga class, or simply lie down in “the bubble house”, a sensory tent that blocks out noise and crowds. The goal is clear: to offer you a moment of respite before dancing again.
A meeting place from all over the world
A fifth of the audience comes from abroad, and Lollapalooza Paris fully embraces its cosmopolitan vibe. Between the Lolla Planète stands (with more than a dozen associations like Greenpeace, WWF, or Cop1) and the collective workshops at Wellness, you can socialize, exchange, or just discover new perspectives. The Lolla Sound System stage, a 2025 novelty, also makes urban cultures vibrate with shows from the best crews of the moment.
Lollapalooza Paris 2025 is more than a festival. It’s an immersion into a world of music, food, meetings, and good vibes. Passes are still available, but not for long. If you’re planning a stylish and sonic summer, this is the spot not to miss.
