Just days before the opening of the world's largest sporting event, this concert will mark the role of the country's main airport as a gateway to the world in France and as a player in France's cultural influence since its inauguration 50 years ago.
That one at Terminal 1 is much more than just a concert. It is an unforgettable experience, a celebration of French culture and a tribute to the art and music that have shaped the global electronic scene. For years, concerts in Parisian airports have transformed these places into true cultural stages, offering passengers and visitors unparalleled musical experiences.
The importance of music in Paris airports is nothing new. Since 2015, Paris Aéroport, the ADP Group brand for Parisian airports – Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly – has actively supported musical creation and French cultural richness by organising concerts and film shoots in unexpected airport locations. With Paris Aéroport, culture and art become part of the journey, giving rise to numerous collaborations with young French artists. As with its recent collaborations with Pangea, Sébastien Preschoux, Léo Caillard and Mourad Merzouki, Paris Aéroport continues its commitment to offering travellers the best of French culture. From Rone in 2015 in the Terminal 2E boarding lounge to Metronomy in the baggage claim area, via performances by Nicolas Godin, Tale Of Us and recently Lang Lang, music always finds a favourable echo in Parisian airports. Terminal 1 continues this tradition by opening the roof of the airport's first terminal for a unique event.
The event, organized together with Amazon Musicwill be live streamed on the Amazon Music global channel on Twitch and Prime Video.
The livestream will allow fans around the world to tune in to the three performances of AIR, Phoenix and Etienne de Crécy, bringing fans closer to the artists they love.
