Chappell Roan, Kneecap, Aurora: Highlights from Rock en Seine 2025 • FRANCE 24 English

Arts24 returns with a special programme dedicated to the Rock en Seine music festival, which took place over three days in the Parc de Saint-Cloud, just outside Paris. FRANCE 24’s Jennifer Ben Brahim looks back at the exceptional lineup for this 21st edition, which kicked off with a highly anticipated concert by Chappell Roan, performing her only show in France. Other headliners included Suki Waterhouse, Queens of the Stone Age, Fontaines D.C., and London Grammar.

For this programme, Jennifer Ben Brahim is joined by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora, who captivated the festival on Friday. 

This edition of Rock en Seine also made international headlines over the presence at the closing ceremony on Sunday of Irish rap group Kneecap, who have sparked controversy in the United Kingdom over their vocal support for the Palestinian cause and criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza. Band member Mo Chara is being prosecuted in the UK for waving a Hezbollah flag on stage in November 2024, at the time of the Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

Despite the controversy, the group performed at Rock en Seine on Sunday with no major incidents. Kneecap’s Mo Chara told FRANCE 24 that he had “massive respect” for the festival organisers for not cancelling the gig.
