Fête de la Musique in Asnières

The Fête de la Musique in Asnières-sur-Seine: Musical Quality and Generosity

Asnières-sur-Seine is a city of 90,000 inhabitants in the Hauts-de-Seine department that stands out every June 21st with a particularly ambitious and generous Fête de la Musique. The city doesn't just offer a program of local concerts; it brings in national and international artists to offer its residents exceptional musical evenings, all completely free.

The Town Hall Square, Main Stage

The heart of the Asnières Fête de la Musique is the Town Hall Square, Place de l'Hôtel de ville. This vast public space transforms every June 21st into a concert stage, welcoming thousands of spectators for high-quality performances. In 2025, the group Paris Select — a pop-soul band with extensive stage experience — performed starting at 8:30 PM, delivering an energetic and festive concert to a large and enthusiastic crowd.

Neighborhoods Celebrate

The Fête de la Musique isn't limited to the town hall square. Several areas of the city are simultaneously activated with free DJ sets starting at 7 PM:

• Place de la République — DJ Chikor, DJ Gass, DJ Party People, DJ HK
• Square Gilbert Thomain — DJ Gass, DJ Coucho, DJ Azar, DJ Anaia
• Jardins de la DS — DJ Huggz and DJ Antoine Vernesse

This decentralization of the celebration allows each neighborhood to have its own musical space, fostering a sense of proximity and neighborly conviviality.

Kavinsky's 2025 Evening: An Exceptional Moment

On June 23, 2025, Asnières pushed the ambition even further by hosting the legendary DJ-producer Kavinsky on the town hall square for a completely free DJ set. Made famous by his track “Nightcall” used in the soundtrack of the film Drive, Kavinsky is one of the most iconic figures in the French electronic scene. His appearance in Asnières, preceded by DJ-producer SELLIER (French Touch) from 7:30 PM and Anja Sugar, transformed the town hall square into a giant dancefloor for thousands of revelers.

An Ingrained Musical Tradition

Asnières' Fête de la Musique is part of a solid cultural tradition. The city has a vibrant musical life throughout the year, with the Asnières National School of Music and Dance, numerous musical associations, and regular performance programming. June 21st is an opportunity to make this musical culture accessible to everyone, in public spaces, without barriers or entrance fees.
