"Grand Palais d'été"

The Grand Palais d’été 2026 returns from 2 June with a bold programme combining exhibitions, live performances, music and public festivals. Among the highlights, the immersive retrospective dedicated to Leandro Erlich takes you on a journey of monumental illusions where architecture is turned on its head and perceptions are blurred. In the North Nave, Laure Prouvost presents Nous, frissons d’étoiles, a sensory immersion into a quantum universe brought to life by kinetic sculptures, sounds and transforming materials. Two powerful artistic experiences, designed to interact with the scale of the venue and offer you moments of utter wonder.

Live performances that bring the Nef to life

The Nef du Grand Palais becomes the setting for unique collective experiences. The contemporary circus of Circa, with Revoir les étoiles, opens the season in an explosion of light, acrobatics and energy. This is followed by memorable productions such as Derniers Feux by Némo Flouret, the diptych Ici / The Look by Sharon Eyal and Léo Lérus, and the spectacular Symphony for 100 Drums orchestrated by Lucie Antunes, bringing together a hundred percussionists in a powerful and unifying musical moment. Unique evenings celebrating movement, joy, the diversity of stage work and encounters with the artists.

Festive nights, workshops and a summer to share

Every Saturday evening, After Nefs transforms the Nef into a giant dancefloor: electro DJ sets (Sama’ Abdulhadi b2b Daniel Avery, Dimitri from Paris), hybrid concerts (Eddy de Pretto x Maud Le Pladec) or themed evenings such as the Raï line-up. New for 2026: the free Saturday morning dance workshops, open to all, invite you to get moving alongside the season’s artists. Another highlight: Raconte-moi ton mariage by **Mohamed Bourouissa, a festive parade linking the suburbs to Paris before a grand celebration under the Nef.

Shows, festivals… Summer is lived to the full in the Paris Region.
