What is the Ticketmaster France calendar for?

Our calendar highlights the high points of the French live scene and gives the context for choosing your outings. It is an editorial point of view, not an exhaustive ticketing service: we point the way and tell the story, without selling tickets or claiming to list every date.

Are exact dates guaranteed?

No, and that is deliberate: programming changes constantly. Our pages favour seasonal landmarks and the right moves. For precise dates and venues, always check the ticketing services and the official websites of the artists and venues.

How often should I check the calendar?

A glance at the start of each month is enough for most outings. Tour announcements come in waves and ticket office openings can be anticipated: getting into the habit of checking regularly avoids missing the most in-demand nights.

How do I organise my concert outings across a season?

First spot the high points via our selection and our diary, cross-check with your favourite artists, note ticket office openings in advance and keep some flexibility for discoveries. Our “Building your diary” page spells out the method.

The concert calendar in France

A good calendar does more than line up dates: it tells the story of a season. Ours guides you through the great carousel of the French live scene, from the autumn tours to the festival nights of summer. Here you will find our selections of what to see, our reading of the diary of the big dates and the landmarks that help you organise your outings without letting anything slip. As always, treat these pages as a seasonal guide — exact dates are confirmed on the ticketing services and official websites.

The live season, an overview

The French scene lives to the rhythm of the seasons, and each one has its own personality. The September return fires up the touring machine again after the summer lull. Autumn and winter string together appearances in the Zéniths and arenas, right up to the year-end nights. Spring carries the momentum forward and already announces summer, the high season of festivals and open-air concerts. Knowing this rhythm means anticipating rather than scrambling.

Our calendar is not an exhaustive database: it is a point of view. We highlight the high points, flag the gatherings not to be missed and give the context that helps you choose. The detail of the dates, for its part, is always checked at the source.

Season by season

If you had to keep one reading grid: autumn for the major indoor tours, winter for the hushed nights and year-end concerts, spring for the resumption and the first summer announcements, summer for festivals and the open air. No season is dead — they simply offer different pleasures. It is up to you to compose your own.
