FBLO Festival

French Chanson in the Spotlight

The FBLO Festival — whose name takes the consonants from Fontainebleau — was born in 2021 with the ambition of creating a major event for French chanson in Seine-et-Marne. Organized by Live Nation France, one of the world's largest show producers, the festival boasts a top-tier lineup that blends the headliners of the French-speaking scene with the most promising emerging talents. FBLO Festival has quickly established itself as a major event on the Parisian music calendar, attracting thousands of spectators to celebrate the diversity and vitality of contemporary French chanson.

The Grand Parquet: An Exceptional Site

The festival takes place at the Grand Parquet de Fontainebleau, a vast outdoor space located at 152, route d'Orléans, at the edge of the Fontainebleau national forest. This historic site, traditionally dedicated to equestrian sports and major events, offers a remarkable natural setting for a music festival. Surrounded by the forest, classified as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Grand Parquet allows festival-goers to combine musical discovery with immersion in a preserved environment. The site's infrastructure ensures quality reception with catering areas, bars, and relaxation zones.

Prestigious Headliners

Since its creation, FBLO Festival has attracted internationally renowned artists. The 2024 edition, exceptionally held at the Château de Fontainebleau Park, made a mark by hosting Sting, a 17-time Grammy Award winner, for a special concert. The festival has also featured the biggest names in French chanson: Vianney, Clara Luciani, Julien Doré, Eddy de Pretto, and many other artists who embody the renewal of French music. This ability to blend international stars and French artists is what makes FBLO Festival unique.

A Family-Friendly and Convivial Festival

FBLO Festival is distinguished by its family-friendly and convivial atmosphere. Open to all audiences, it offers an accessible format with two days of concerts in a safe and welcoming environment. Its proximity to Paris — Fontainebleau is less than an hour from the capital by train — makes it an ideal musical getaway for Parisians and visitors alike. The festival contributes to the cultural influence of Fontainebleau, an imperial city already renowned for its château, forest, and exceptional living environment, by adding a contemporary musical dimension.
