How to spend a perfect day at We Love Green
Returning to Paris next week with a truly stacked programme across three days, here are the sets you won’t want to miss at We Love Green 2026.
We Love Green is back at the Bois de Vincennes from 5–7 June for its 15th anniversary edition. The line-up includes sets from some of the biggest names in contemporary music, as well as rising names across pop, rock, dance music and more.
Built around a fully eco-designed infrastructure, We Love Green continues to uphold its reputation as one of Europe’s most forward-thinking festivals for sustainability, operating in line with a mission statement set out in 2011: “To develop and promote eco-citizenship and raise awareness of sustainable development, by designing, producing and organising artistic events in the field of live performance.”

Friday, 5 June
Start strong with Sudan Archives
Who: There are few better ways to kick off a festival weekend than with Sudan Archives. The LA-based artist – and former Crack cover star – has built an unmistakable sound world by warping violin compositions through R&B, hip-hop and club music, while last year’s The BPM leaned fully into dance floor energy.
When: 18:15–19:15
Where: La Clairière stage
Catch one of UK rap’s defining voices
Who: Easily one of the most singular names in modern British rap, Jim Legxacy arrives at We Love Green following the release of last year’s Black British Music, which Crack ranked in its top five albums of the year. Equal parts diaristic and experimental, his live shows carry the same emotional intensity that’s made him such a vital new voice.
When: 20:15–21:15
Where: La Canopée stage
Slow things down with Qendresa
Who: For those wanting to slow down and catch the sunset, north-west London artist Qendresa is set to bring neo-soul and understated R&B textures, fresh from her recent double single Rain In July / Be The One.
When: 21:15–22:15
Where: Thinktank stage
Gorillaz headline
Who: Gorillaz need no introduction. Catch Thursday’s headliner for a packed hour-and-a-half performance on La Prairie.
When: 21:15–22:45
Where: La Prairie stage
Don’t miss Dijon’s rare festival appearance
Who: Essential viewing. Dijon, the Mk.gee collaborator and artist widely credited as a key architect behind Justin Bieber’s new sound, isn’t a name we spot often on European festival line-ups, making this late-night set one of the weekend’s must-sees.
When: 22:45–23:45
Where: La Clairière stage
End the night with Little Simz
Who: Little Simz never misses. Expect razor-sharp delivery, immaculate pacing and a crowd-spanning set pulling from across her catalogue.
When: 23:45–00:45
Where: La Prairie stage

Saturday, 6 June
Ease into the afternoon with Alewya
Who: London-based artist Alewya is set to return with new material from her forthcoming album ZERO, her first major project since Panther in Mode. If recent singles like City of Symbols and Night Drive are anything to go by, this is a show we wouldn’t want to miss.
When: 15:15–16:00
Where: La Prairie stage
Enter Loukeman’s warped world
Who: Fresh from releasing Sd-3 – the latest instalment in his Star Dog trilogy – electronic-pop producer Loukeman’s set promises to be one of the weekend’s most unpredictable.
When: 16:00–17:00
Where: Lalaland stage
Take a break at the comedy club
The Thinktank stage hosts We Love Green’s comedy programme alongside its talks and panel discussions – the ideal place to slow the pace for a moment before heading back into the night.
When: Comedy Club will run from 19:00-19:45, with the stage also hosting comedians throughout the afternoon
Where: Thinktank stage
Oklou’s ascent continues
Who: After a huge two years, the former Crack cover star has become one of experimental pop’s most influential voices, with her recent soundtrack work taking the artist to Cannes.
When: 20:00–21:00
Where: La Clairière stage
Step into pop heaven with Addison Rae
Who: Party with one of 2025’s least expected breakout pop acts, to an album that totally deserves the hype.
When: 21:00–22:00
Where: La Prairie stage
Warm up for the rave with KI/KI
Who: Dutch DJ KI/KI has spent the last year becoming one of Europe’s most in-demand selectors. This is the time of night to raise the pace.
When: 21:30–23:30
Where: Lalaland stage
Close day two with Overmono
There are few acts better suited to midnight festival energy than Overmono. With new album Pure Devotion arriving in August and the first single already a summer banger, the duo’s set should make for one of the weekend’s biggest crowd moments.
When: 00:00–01:00
Where: La Clairière stage

Sunday, 7 June
MARINA returns
Who: Formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds, MARINA returned earlier this year following a four-year hiatus. Expect a performance balancing new material with the kind of cathartic pop classics that have made her a festival favourite for over a decade.
When: 16:15–17:15
Where: La Clairière stage
Explore the site properly
By day three, it’s worth slowing down long enough to absorb the festival itself. The talks and sustainability activations are as much a part of We Love Green’s identity as the music programme, and the 100% vetegarian food offering alone is worth carving out time for.
Ethel Cain is Sunday’s essential set
Who: If there’s one performance not to miss on Sunday, it’s Ethel Cain. Another former Crack cover star, Cain’s live shows feel immersive in a way few festival sets manage. The perfect counterpoint to the weekend’s bigger high-energy moments.
When: 20:45–21:45
Where: La Clairière stage
Ninajirachi brings chaos to Thinktank
Who: Australian producer Ninajirachi specialises in maximalist club music built for overstimulation in the best possible way. Expect one of the weekend’s most fun late-night crowds.
When: 21:30–22:45
Where: Thinktank stage
Finish at maximum pressure with Bambounou and HAAi
Who: For a properly euphoric ending, head straight to Bambounou and HAAi. The Parisian producer linking with one of club music’s most adventurous selectors feels like an appropriately huge finale for We Love Green’s 15th anniversary edition.
When: 22:00–00:00
Where: Lalaland stage
