MUSIC
Because it’s our trademark, we’re going to continue to mix tomorrow’s trends and champion the most exciting artists in contemporary music, bringing together audiences that don’t come together all that often. Futuristic rap, lyrical pop, sensual house, psychedelic rock, electro-folk, atomic fusion, DJ sets, concerts, performances: since 2010, true to our love of music, we’ve always tried to break new ground on tomorrow’s trends. Who remembers that PNL and Aya Nakamura gave their first festival concert here, that Tyler The Creator played here before winning a Grammy, or that Migos and Rosalia were already treading the lawn of the Bois de Vincennes before becoming interstellar stars?
Line-up
PREVIOUS EDITIONS
2023
After the mind-boggling deluge of 2022, we're back in the Bois de Vincennes. All the while remaining independent, free and pioneering. This year, WE LOVE GREEN was no exception, welcoming established stars, promising hopefuls and up-and-coming talent. With a line-up that's exciting and sexy, danceable and groovy, electric and eclectic, WE LOVE GREEN confirms that, with ears wide open, it's right in tune with the times. And that even the raging elements won't stop us dreaming and dancing.
2022
For its 2022 edition, WE LOVE GREEN is offering an even more emotionally-charged experience, with a programme that plays with the codes and vibes of the times. True to its ambition of bringing together different forms of creation, the festival is pursuing its mission of clearing the way and fusing together the whole range of today's music. From rap and techno to pop, soul and French chanson, the festival opens a new window on the worlds of tomorrow. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, forcing the cancellation of Saturday night's event.
2021 [REPORTED]
If there's one certainty about Covid-19, it's uncertainty... In the summer of 2021, after a period of optimism for major cultural events, the context once again became tense prior to the festival. From an artistic, health, administrative and financial point of view, the conditions were no longer ripe for a WE LOVE GREEN as ambitious as we had imagined. The decision to cancel was a painful one, and one that saddened us all, but the risk of putting on a seriously damaged edition of a festival of this scale had become too great.
2020 [REPORTED]
With the cancellation of this year's festival due to Covid-19, We Love Green is entering the 4th dimension and launching WE LOVE GREEN TV to bring you the festival experience online! A dematerialised version, designed to preserve the spirit and values of the festival. It's a new experience of space and time that has opened us up to the future and enabled us to bring you brand new concerts, meetings with artists and personalities to watch, flashbacks to the most memorable moments, new Think Tank conferences and moments of sharing.
2019
WE LOVE GREEN returns to the wild setting of the Bois de Vincennes on 1 & 2 June 2019! More than 100 lives & dj-sets & talks, 4 music stages, 1 inspiring conference stage, +50 committed restaurants, 1 large banquet, 1 international scenographic & artistic programme, hundreds of flags in the sky and always an eco-responsible & innovative technical & logistical production under the sun, with your feet in the grass... Tame Impala, Booba, Aya Nakamura, Metronomy, Kali Uchis, Rosalía, Erykah Badu, Laurent Garnier and Future all performed on stage. What a year!
2018
In 2018, We Love Green enters a new dimension: for the next few years, the festival moves to its current site, the Plaine de La Belle Etoile, ten hectares in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes. On the musical front, a new stage (La Canopée) is being added, and the festival continues to explore the avant-garde, the superstars who are inventing the music of tomorrow, the bubbling underground, and the different styles: Björk, Migos, Angèle, Jorja Smith, Tyler The Creator, Nina Kraviz, Jamie XX and many other talented artists.
2017
For its sixth edition, We Love Green confirms its status as a living barometer of global pop trends, while favouring passionate choices over opportunistic selections. With 44 radiant artists, 50 speakers & agents of change, 40 committed restaurants, the line-up for this 2017 edition is the image of the musical year that has just passed: infinitely varied and inexhaustibly inventive. On the new side, a real sorting centre has been developed on the site, an Open Source energy plant combining all the technologies has been installed and new awareness-raising tools have been proposed.
2023 AFTERMOVIE
Programmation
The program unfolds on five perfectly synchronised stages.
The two big ones are La Prairie – sunny, open to the outdoors, feet in the grass, head in the stars…, and La Clairière – a half-capite, like a bubble, ideal for meticulously staged live shows, relying as much on lighting as video to welcome the most innovative artists for a real plunge into their universe.
As for the future of contemporary music, its most promising newcomers are meeting up on the magnificent stage of La Canopée (supported by the Île-de-France Region). The huge dancefloor under the Lalaland marquee welcomes, day and night, the masters and new faces of electronic music. Last but not least, our Think Tank stage, where emerging artists take over after the conferences.
