CREATION AND TRANSMISSION
Rock en Seine is committed to young artists with Club avant Seine. And every year the festival opens up to other rich and dynamic cultural fields, with the aim of offering young artists maximum creative freedom.

CLUB AVANT SEINE
Club Avant Seine is a whole ecosystem dedicated to the independent scene and emerging French talents.
Since its third edition in 2005, Rock en Seine has embraced its role as a talent scout, seeking out the stars of tomorrow. Throughout the year, a jury of music professionals – artists, bookers, journalists, and more – selects French artists to perform at the festival.
CAMPUS MUSIC JEUNE
A new initiative to support high school students, tomorrow’s artists, in the Île-de-France region.
Following the suspension of support from the Île-de-France Region for the Première Seine program, it will unfortunately not take place in 2026.
Remaining true to its commitment to emerging talent and artistic development, Rock en Seine is continuing its work with high school talents across the Île-de-France region through a new dedicated program.


MINI ROCK
Since 2009, Rock en Seine has been offering mini Rock, a festival on their scale, away from the crowds, designed especially for festival-goers’ children aged 6 to 11, with a dedicated team of supervisors… And it’s free (limited to 100 spots per day) !
A daycare ? Not even close, unless it’s the coolest one in the world ! The mini Rock is a unique opportunity to dive into rock culture, explore musical creativity, and try out a variety of artistic activities. Also on the agenda: an introduction to journalism for kids, artist interviews, exclusive workshops, and more…
At its core, it’s all about passing on experiences, emotions, passions, and even sparking new vocations.
PARTNERSHIP WITH GRAPHISM STUDENTS
Every year, the Duroc metro station on lines 10 and 13 transforms into Durock, thanks to exclusive creations by students from the renowned École Estienne, a prestigious institution specializing in graphic arts and visual communication.
To showcase the depth of Rock en Seine’s lineup, students from the illustration department at École Estienne design a series of posters featuring festival artists.
This collaboration culminates in a poster exhibition, previewed in the metro during the now-iconic transformation of “Duroc” into “Du rock” !

CHANSON PERCHéE
“Chanson Perchée” is a project that brings together young adults living with mental health disorders and a professional artist to write and compose a song together.
“Chanson Perchée” was created by Rock en Seine and La Maison Perchée, with support from Sacem, which established its endowment fund to combat social isolation through musical creation.
“Music is above all something that brings people together,” restores confidence, frees expression, and heals.
