We Love Green is Paris' boldest crossover music festival — a three-day event held inside the lush Bois de Vincennes that fuses world-class indie, electronic, house, and hip-hop programming with one of the most uncompromising sustainability blueprints in the global festival industry. Launched in 2011, We Love Green has built its identity around proving that a major urban festival can be powered by renewable energy, served by zero-waste vendors, and curated around progressive, future-facing artists. The 2026 edition welcomes over 90,000 festivalgoers across the weekend to its leafy Parisian grounds for the perfect long-weekend escape.
The musical programming sits at the intersection of indie discovery and electronic peak-time. The main stage hosts a rotating mix of global pop royalty and curated indie headliners, while the dedicated electronic stages — including the iconic La Clairière and the recent Sequoia stage — host extended house and techno sets from the world's most respected DJs. Recent editions have hosted Lana Del Rey, The Strokes, Tame Impala, FKA twigs, Fred again.., Bicep, KAYTRANADA, and Aphex Twin alongside emerging French and European acts. The lineup intentionally avoids the over-booked global circuit, prioritizing artists with cultural weight over festival ubiquity.
What truly distinguishes We Love Green is the atmosphere. The Bois de Vincennes provides a forest setting unlike any other urban festival in Europe — wooden stages built into the trees, art installations woven through the foliage, and a vegetarian-leaning food court that elevates festival eating into something genuinely worth talking about. The crowd is predominantly Parisian and European, fashion-forward, and engaged — this is the festival where Paris' creative class spends its first weekend of summer. Pair that with Paris itself as the host city and We Love Green becomes one of the most well-rounded festival weekends on the calendar.
