On June 13 and 14, 2026, the Paris-Vincennes Hippodrome will transform into an open-air temple of electronic music. Solomun and Mind Against on Saturday, Paul Kalkbrenner live and WhoMadeWho in a hybrid set on Sunday… Brunch Electronik is putting on a weekend that rivals the biggest European festivals. And all of this in the Bois de Vincennes, just twenty minutes from downtown Paris.
A festival born in Barcelona that has become a global phenomenon
Brunch Electronik is a simple idea and a formidably effective marketing strategy: taking the codes of nightlife clubbing, transposing them outdoors and in broad daylight, and wrapping it all up in an organic, minimalist setting. Born in Barcelona in 2011, the concept has expanded to Madrid, Lisbon, Lyon, São Paulo, Los Angeles, and Paris, where it returns for the third consecutive year to the Hippodrome de Vincennes.
What sets Brunch Electronik apart from a run-of-the-mill outdoor festival? The attention to detail: the decor, the food trucks, a market featuring local artisans, and a “Petit Brunch” area open to families from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. There’s also a Safe Place in partnership with local organizations and a clear commitment to “zero waste.” In short, it’s a concept that couldn’t be more inclusive.
Saturday, June 13: Solomun headlining
If you haven’t heard of Solomun yet, it’s time to fix that. Mladen Solomun, born in Bosnia and Herzegovina and raised in Hamburg, is one of the most influential figures of his generation. He is a four-time DJ Awards winner, was named DJ of the Year by Mixmag in 2012, and founded the label Diynamic Music, which has shaped the European deep house aesthetic over the past fifteen years.
What makes his sets unforgettable? A hybrid musical style that draws from funk, R&B, disco, and ’80s pop. The basslines are hypnotic, and the progression is smooth: the transitions are impressively fluid. His Boiler Room set in Tulum, viewed millions of times, gives you a glimpse of what to expect—but in Vincennes. Joining him on Saturday: Mind Against ( Italian brothers Alessandro and Federico Fognini, leading figures in melodic techno), Butch, and Vanroose. From 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Sunday, June 14: Paul Kalkbrenner & WhoMadeWho
Sunday is a day apart. Paul Kalkbrenner, born in Leipzig and raised in Berlin, is the self-proclaimed godfather of Berlin techno and one of the few electronic artists who still plays live. Every one of Kalkbrenner’s stage appearances is unique: he shapes his tracks in real time.
His career has been extraordinary: he played the lead role in the cult film Berlin Calling, for which he composed the soundtrack; sold over 200,000 copies of his single “Sky and Sand”; and performed in front of 400,000 people at the Brandenburg Gate to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall. He was the first techno artist to take the main stage at Tomorrowland. Of the eight albums in his catalog, he plays only his own compositions—a rare choice that makes every concert an event in itself.
As the second headliner on Sunday, WhoMadeWho will present their hybrid DJ set, a well-honed format that blurs the lines between live performance and the club. The Danish trio, winners of the “Best Live Performer” award at the 2024 Beatport Awards, are coming straight from Coachella 2026. Their show in Abu Simbel, Egypt, for Cercle has surpassed 8 million views. For your enjoyment, here’s a sneak peek:
