Rock en Seine 2014

Top 5 acts: Arctic Monkeys, Portishead, Queens of the Stone Age, Joey Badass, Flume

Rock en Seine is THE rock festival in Paris, in a stunning location on the edge of the city. It doesn't bother with up-and-coming bands – all the acts are established headliners, often including some resurrected names who've been off the festival circuit for a while. The vibe isn't exactly underground – you'll spot big name magazines shooting pretty girls for their street style features – but who cares? Grab a beer and enjoy.
