Rock En Seine Reveals Full 2024 Lineup
Paris’ highly anticipated music festival, Rock en Seine, returns this summer from August 21 to 25 at Domaine national de Saint-Cloud. Set in this picturesque location on the outskirts of Paris, the festival will feature five stages and a stellar lineup over five days. Today, we are thrilled to announce 19 new acts joining the bill.
Lana Del Rey will open Rock en Seine on Wednesday, August 21, with an exclusive concert, her only performance in France this summer.
The festival week will continue with headline performances from Fred again.., LCD Soundsystem, Måneskin, Massive Attack, PJ Harvey, The Offspring, and The Smile. Rock en Seine is also excited to welcome back some iconic names this year. American trio Gossip will make a legendary return after a decade-long hiatus, while riot grrrl pioneers Sleater–Kinney will perform in France following the release of their eleventh studio album, Little Rope, this year. Indie heavyweights Kasabian and punk rockers Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes join the enigmatic British legend Baxter Dury as part of the latest cohort from the UK. Legendary Flemish electro brothers 2ManyDJs are also confirmed, following the announcement of their other project, Soulwax, earlier this year.
These icons are joined by contemporary artists who have forged new paths in their musical fields. French DJ/producer Canblaster, renowned for his production skills, will perform, along with London-based rapper Loyle Carner and electro-soul multi-instrumentalist Sampha. Teezo Touchdown will represent the Texan rap scene, while Parisian psych-wizards The Psychotic Monks, post-punk trailblazers Astéréotypie, West Coast rebels Destroy Boys, and indie-rockers Dead Poet Society will bring their raw energy to Paris.
Rock en Seine remains at the forefront of discovering new talent worldwide. Joining the lineup are London-based rising stars The Last Dinner Party, soul crooner Elmiene, whose debut EP has already garnered critical acclaim, French artist Lucky Love with his emotionally charged ballads, the Nantes-based collective Soyuuz, and New York-based female disco-soul trio Say She She.
This extensive lineup announcement is just a glimpse of what Rock en Seine will offer this summer. Previously announced acts include the London dance-funk duo Jungle, BBC Introducing Artist of the Year Olivia Dean, the eternal dance floor queen Róisín Murphy, and multi-disciplinary French artist Zaho de Sagazan, alongside the major headliners.
Rock en Seine‘s commitment to diverse and dynamic music ensures a vibrant festival experience, celebrating sounds from all corners of the musical landscape.
Aligned with its core values, Rock en Seine will continue the festivities through the ACT! Zone, where numerous talks will focus on the festival’s sustainability commitments. The Mini Rock activities, Club Avant Seine, and Première Seine programs will once again support young and emerging talents.
This 20th edition also coincides with the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, and Rock en Seine is proud to participate in the Cultural Olympiad for Paris 2024.
Rock en Seine 2024 will be a dazzling and historic convergence of two flames: the universal flame of the Olympics and the festival’s enduring enthusiasm. The connections between art, music, and sports, and their shared values of excellence, self-improvement, inclusion, diversity, and universalism, will be celebrated. Festival-goers can look forward to a remarkable and surprise-filled event.
Tickets are available now on Rock En Seine’s website.

Barnside Harvest Festival 2026 Brings Three Days of Music and Community to Ladner
Barnside Harvest Festival returned to Paterson Park in Ladner from September 11 to 13, 2026, bringing three days of live music, local vendors, food, family-friendly activities, and plenty of reasons to stick around all weekend. Now in its fourth year, the festival continued to build on its community-focused atmosphere while putting a major spotlight on Canadian music and some familiar names from the Canadian and international music scenes.
Friday kicked things off with a full evening of music on the Barnside Brewing Main Stage. Tsawwassen First Nation artist Bryce Williams opened the day before Uncle Strut and Hotel Mira took the stage. JJ Wilde followed, leading into the first of the weekend’s major headliners, Marianas Trench. The Vancouver band closed out Friday with a set filled with songs familiar to longtime fans and brought a strong finish to the festival’s opening night.
The Dueck Cadillac Stage gave festivalgoers another place to discover local and emerging talent throughout the weekend. Friday’s lineup included Clare Twiddy, Bealby Point and Fake Shark, giving audiences a mix of singer-songwriter, alternative and rock sounds alongside the Main Stage performances.
Saturday expanded the festival into a full day of music. The Main Stage lineup began with HB Wild and The Heels before Jake Vaadeland & The Sturgeon River Boys brought their roots and bluegrass-inspired sound to the afternoon. The Washboard Union followed, setting the stage for Saturday night’s headliners. Big Wreck took the stage at 7 p.m., followed by Smash Mouth, who closed out the night.
There was plenty happening on the Dueck Cadillac Stage throughout Saturday as well, with Annika Catharina, Three Nines Fine, Jackson Hollow, Imogen Clark and Daniel Wesley keeping the music going between Main Stage sets. With several styles represented throughout the day, Saturday offered one of the festival’s broadest musical lineups.
Sunday brought another full day of music and wrapped up the festival with two major Canadian headliners. The Main Stage schedule included DJ Larry Hennessey, the Delta Police Pipe Band, All the King’s Men and Imogen Clark before Limblifter and The Grapes of Wrath took the audience through the afternoon. Kim Mitchell followed at 7 p.m., bringing some classic Canadian rock to the festival, before Tom Cochrane closed the weekend at 8:30 p.m.
The Dueck Cadillac Stage continued the Sunday lineup with Marlie Collins, Daryl Burgess, Miina and Kim Churchill. It gave festivalgoers plenty of options throughout the afternoon and evening, whether they wanted to catch a familiar headliner or spend some time exploring another stage.
Music was only part of the Barnside experience. The festival grounds were filled with vendors and makers, giving attendees a chance to browse local goods between sets. There were also food options, festival activities, and plenty of spaces to hang out with friends and family. Free Chapman’s ice cream was another popular festival treat, while 50/50 draws added another bit of fun throughout the weekend.
For those looking for a more relaxed festival experience, the VIP Lounge offered covered seating, a private bar, complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, appetizers and desserts, along with views close to the Main Stage.
The festival also continued to highlight local food and drink, with the BC Craft Beer Corner featuring breweries from around the province on Sunday.
From Marianas Trench and JJ Wilde opening the weekend to Smash Mouth and Big Wreck taking over Saturday, and Kim Mitchell and Tom Cochrane closing things out Sunday, Barnside Harvest Festival 2026 offered a little bit of everything across three days. With its mix of established artists, emerging performers, local vendors, and community-focused activities, the festival once again turned Paterson Park into a busy weekend gathering place for music fans in Ladner and beyond!

The New York edition runs September 25–27, with each day featuring a curated mix of established names and emerging artists. Larsson will close Friday night with her first-ever headlining festival set, following Lola Young and Rebecca Black. Saturday brings Brandi Carlile to the top of the bill, with Ethel Cain appearing earlier in the evening for her final performance of 2026 on the Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour.
Sunday closes the weekend with Carly Rae Jepsen and MUNA, while The Beaches, Hemlocke Springs, CMAT, Jensen McRae, Cara Delevingne and Rebecca Black are among the other artists performing across the three days.
The festival is adding comedy to its New York programming for the first time, with actor and comedian Meg Stalter joining Saturday’s lineup. Stalter follows Natali Jinju and precedes Jensen McRae on the day’s schedule.
Friday gets underway at 2:15 p.m. with Chloe Qisha, followed by Blu DeTiger and Cara Delevingne. Rebecca Black takes the stage at 5:05 p.m., with Lola Young at 6:50 p.m. before Zara Larsson closes the night from 8:45 to 10 p.m.

All Things Go has built a following around its carefully selected lineups and strong connection between artists and fans. That community has even inspired unofficial festival nicknames such as “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay” and “Lesbopalooza.”
Lorde summed up the festival’s appeal during this year’s All Things Go Toronto edition, joking that she was collecting festival appearances like Pokémon before calling it the coolest festival in North America.
Lola Young, who returns to the festival this year, shared her own excitement about coming back: “All Things Go, we have unfinished business. I feel blessed and ready to take it to the next level. Thank you for having me back.”
The New York festival is part of an expanded 2026 All Things Go schedule that includes editions in DC and Toronto. The DC festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion features Hayley Williams, Mitski, Brandi Carlile and Slayyyter, while Toronto‘s June 6–7 edition at RBC Amphitheatre featured Lorde, Kesha, The Beaches and Wet Leg.
