When? June 10-11 2017.
What? An eco-friendly rock festival with an impressive line-up of international artists.
Where? Bois de Vincennes
You’ll need to summon every ounce of your flower power for this two-day rock festival in the fields. Since 2011, We Love Green has rented out the Parc de Bagatelle for an annual two-day jamboree that places equal emphasis on musical quality and eco credentials. This year, they’ll be doing the same but in the Bois de Vincennes, on the eastern side of the Périph. As ever, the bins will be recyclable, the stages built from 100% natural material and the site dotted with the stands of tree-hugging NGOs, while the summery setting means that the beautiful young partiers can recharge their rave juice by basking in the sun. Tacky merchandising is replaced with organic food and wine stalls, and kids are catered for with a range of games and workshops. It’s a far cry from the can-strewn mudbaths of Glastonbury.
The programme’s gone from strength to strength since the inaugural festival five years ago, and the 2017 edition is going upwards still with headliners Nicolas Jaar, Solange, Benjamin Clementine, and Moderat taking center stage over the two-day festival.
Electro fans certainly aren't left out, with DJ Jon Hopkins, Maceo Plex and Canadian singer/songwriter Jessy Lanza present.

The iconic alternative hip hop band from the US are headlining the show. After 6 albums and the passing of band member and creator Phife Dawg suddenly last year, this tour could potentially be one of their last. It promises to be a great tribute, and expect songs from their albums, Beats, Rhymes and Life, and The Low End Theory.
This American singer, song-writer cum actress and lesser known younger sister to Beyoncé is ranked in the top 100 most successful dance artists of all time. Her most recent album, A Seat At The Table, was number 1 in the US charts in 2016.
