Club avant Seine
For many years now, Rock en Seine has been committed to supporting emerging French and international talent from the independent scene.
Club Avant Seine is a unique and ever-evolving initiative that places emerging bands and their professional network at the heart of the project. Since 2005, Rock en Seine has played the role of a talent scout, searching for the big names of tomorrow, with a jury of professionals selecting the artists.
This year, NATHALIE ROY (Sacem), LÉO JOUVELET (FGO-Barbara / Les Trois Baudets), MATHILDE MEUNIER (Super !), FRANCK VERGEADE (Les Inrocks), OLIVIA CRISTIANI (Universal), RÉMI POLITI (AEG France), and JEANNE ADDED (associate artist) worked with us over several months to curate the Club Avant Seine 2025 line-up :
We’re thrilled to welcome the all-female quartet ALVILDA, VERA DAISIES (formerly half of Ottis Cœur), post-punk rising stars CHEST. and TREAKS, and the Lyon-based trio EAT-GIRLS. France’s new hip-hop hopeful LE MONDE DAHO will also take the stage, alongside the radical collective CAMION BIP BIP, who blend punk and electroclash, and the male duo PAMELA, worthy heirs to LCD Soundsystem. The promising NOOR and WHISPER, as well as Parisian artist ANDÉOL, will bring a softer touch with their immersive and enveloping sounds. Finally, several free spirits will offer a glimpse into their hybrid worlds : young Breton artist ARØNE, self-taught MAX BABY, the band TOUT LE MONDE S’APPELLE CLARA, and the eccentric GILDAA.
With this new selection, Rock en Seine continues its mission more than ever : to offer a stage, visibility, and support to the talents shaping the music of tomorrow. One thing’s for sure : these fifteen artists are ones to watch. See you this summer to discover them live, where it all begins

training PROGRAM
In 2025, Rock en Seine will offer a training program for the Club Avant Seine artists, with three full days of workshops (two in June and one in September).
Designed based on feedback from past artists involved in the initiative, this program covers practical topics that complement existing support systems. The first day will focus on media relations, featuring talks from professionals in radio, press, and communications, along with hands-on interview workshops. The second day will address artists’ physical and mental wellbeing, with sessions on nutrition, stress management, and the prevention of psychosocial risks. It will conclude with a special meeting with Jeanne Added, associate artist of the programming committee and part of the Club Avant Seine 2014. A third training day will take place in September 2025.
Focus on international exposure
As part of its mission to support emerging talent beyond its own stages, Rock en Seine leverages strong connections with key players in the international music scene, particularly in the UK, to open new doors for the Club Avant Seine artists. This summer, three acts from the 2025 selection will have the opportunity to perform at partner festivals such as All Points East and the LIDO.
