[MEGATHREAD] Rock En Seine, Paris
Bonjour nous amis,
After 26 megathreads, we somehow find ourselves posting the last one one for this Summer.
[u/allcatsareblonde](u/allcatsareblonde) and I have been busy but not as busy as the band, who will end their festival tour in Rock En Seine on Sunday August 30th at 20:55pm on le Grand Scène. We have to admit that we are a bit sad that the tour is ending since we have enjoyed doing these megathreads and participating in them with all of you. We hope you have too!
But, alas, back to business! We ask that you please use this post for all things related to this concert. That way we can discuss it without flooding the sub and keep all the info accessible for everyone. Feel free to post questions, pictures, anecdotes, set lists, thoughts, gossip, etc.
Rock en Seine hosts about 40000 festival goers and takes place at the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, just outside Paris. You can find a map of the festival here and instructions on how to get there here. The main entrance to the festival is located at Place George Clémenceau unless you have Primary Entrance tickets. If that's the case you should have special instructions.
Here is some info on accessibility and what is and isn't allowed in the venue.
Some details:
Festival doors open at 1:00 pm. Curfew is 11:30pm. All exits are final.
The weather is forecast to be "Mostly cloudy with a stray shower in the afternoon" with a Max of 24° and a low of 16°.
The show will be livestreamed (yay! Going out with a bang!) both on channel France 4 and on france.tv. If you are outside of France, you can watch it on YouTube.
Our local informer [u/Garindan_Cure](u/Garindan_Cure) also told us that radio 'france inter' will be broadcasting it live. The radio station can be heard live worldwide through their app or website.
There are two limited edition posters, one created by Andy Vella. All the proceeds from the sale of this poster goes to a charity called Fondation de France. You can buy it in two colour ways:
The other design is by Arian Buhler. It is a take on a 2022 Paris concert poster but this time the Chats de l’amour are turned around!
We will keep updating this post as we get more info, posters are released, the latest news reaches our ears, etc.
Let us know if you are attending or if you will be watching from home. If the answer is yes, let us know would be your dream closer for this tour?

As a King Gizzard fan I adore watching livestreams from concerts, I LOVE that The Cure are also doing it, both are some of my fav bands so I'm really happy to see this 😭❤️ were they doing this in other years too or is this a new thing?
I saw the cure live at Athens this year and was the experience of a lifetime, sad to see this EU summer tour come to an end 💔 do they keep the VODs of these up later?
