For its 12th edition, Les Éclatantes invites Bon Entendeur, Jeantonique, and Lizy to electrify the Cité des Sciences at La Villette, amid the planetarium, exhibits, and a cosmic dance floor, from 8:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. With top-notch sound and the cosmos as a backdrop, the event sells out every year. We recommend booking your tickets so you don’t miss the party.
Les Éclatantes Take Over La Cité des Sciences
Les Éclatantes are back for their 12th edition —and this time, they’re setting up their dance floor beneath the geode, nestled among scientific exhibits and planetarium shows.
Since its first edition, the Éclatantes event at the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie has established a format found nowhere else in Paris: a night where you can listen to a high-quality set, wander through an exhibition, look up at the planetarium dome, and then return to the dance floor. June 19 marks the official start of summer, and the lineup lives up to the occasion.
A constellation of sound beneath the Geode
Bon Entendeur: This Nantes-based duo is one of the most unique projects in French electronic music. Behind tracks like “Le temps est bon,” “Aller-Retour,” and “Fréquence,” they have a style all their own for telling stories: by sampling French cultural heritage— vintage television, classic songs, and cinema —to create tracks that sound both nostalgic and contemporary.
Jeantonique: A French producer known for his ability to blend 1970s American funk, new-wave synths, and contemporary production, Jeantonique occupies a unique niche in the Parisian electronic music scene. He’ll share the lineup with Bon Entendeur in what promises to be a well-matched dialogue of styles.
Lizy: An artist who blends tech house and disco, Lizy represents the wave of French DJs who didn’t wait for others to make room for them—they carved out their own space. Her appearance at Les Éclatantes 2026 is one of the most intriguing picks on the lineup.
The evening’s schedule
Les Éclatantes is more than just a concert: it’s a program designed to keep the night alive from start to finish. La Cité des Sciences opens its spaces for the occasion, and visitors can enjoy interactive experiences alongside the music.
Planetarium Shows: Nighttime sessions under the dome—a way to see the cosmos beyond a screen. One of Paris’s most beautiful venues, waiting to be rediscovered at night.
Exhibits Open: Permanent and temporary exhibits are open to the public throughout the evening. Science as an alternative program or as an extension of the event.
Exclusive activities: Experiences designed specifically for Les Éclatantes: workshops, demonstrations, and installations. The little details you stumble upon by chance—and that stay with you.
