Matthieu Ducos, GM at Rock En Seine, said: “20 years already [since] we started the show. We are very proud of the journey so far but the best is yet to come.
“After a very successful returning 2022 edition, we are very excited about the line-up for this year, mixing the very best of the new pop stars and historic rock bands the fans have been longing to see for years.”
Jim King, CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents, added: “Rock En Seine continues to go from strength to strength with the team delivering another amazing line up. It is celebrating its 20th anniversary having reestablished itself as one of Europe’s leading festivals.”
Last year’s event featured headline performances from the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
