After Nef: Summer Nights at Grand Palais with Concerts and Visuals

festival-fair · 2026-06-19

Every Saturday evening this summer, the Grand Palais in Paris transforms its iconic nave into a festive music venue after performances of the Grand Palais d'été season. The After Nef series, conceived with choreographers and directors, invites audiences to extend the show's emotion in a club or concert hall atmosphere. Musical genres range from house and techno to French variety, fado, and raï. A monumental light installation titled 'Ciels' by the collective Visual System illuminates the glass roof, supported by the Fondation ENGIE. Visitors aged 25 and under can attend for €10.
