6 rock and metal events not to be missed in 2024
Do you love rock? Are you one of the 2 out of 5 French people who are fans of the genre? It's perfect, since we have selected for this second part of 2024, 6 rock and metal events not to be missed! We would have put Hellfest on the list, but the festival has just ended... 😜 Discover these 6 rock and metal events which will take place in France, between today and December 2024!
1. The AC/DC concert at the Paris Longchamp Hippodrome on August 13
You probably know it if you're a big fan of the Australian group AC/DC , but their visit to Europe brought the crowds wild and their tickets sold like hot cakes! 🥖
If you managed to grab tickets, you're in luck, otherwise we recommend the official resale sites. For more details on the dates and the tracklist, you can take a look at this article .
And if you're looking for official merchandise, we have the AC/DC store here.
2. The “Metal - Diabolus in musica” exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris from April 5 to September 29
The Philharmonie de Paris is currently offering an exhibition on metal “METAL - Diabolus in musica” , in partnership with Hellfest and the Hard Rock Café.
The exhibition traces the history of metal, from the first groups, notably Black Sabbath in 1970, to the evolution of the genre with hardcore or trash metal and finally with dances that became collective and physical.
The exhibition is a success, and to get your tickets, click here.
3. Deep Purple's tour in Europe this summer and in concert on November 11 at the Zenith in Paris
Deep Purple, a British rock group, is also and above all one of the pioneers of hard rock! The group's success is undeniable and they are still in demand on stage!
