Spotify Puts Fans in Control of the Setlist at Fête de la Musique Celebration in Paris

In France, there’s one day a year where instead of going to the show, the show comes to you, wherever you are. It’s the Fête de la Musique (World Music Day), a 40-year-old tradition where music takes over every city, town, and village across the country. This year, Spotify put a new spin on the celebration by handing the reins directly to the fans.

On June 21, we popped up on the iconic Place de la Bastille in Paris for Fan de la Musique, a free concert built on a simple but powerful idea: What if the fans were in control?

Throughout the event, the night’s soundtrack was created in real time for the fans, by the fans. Literally: a scannable QR code displayed on stage allowed the audience to vote on the next track and collectively shape the energy of the evening.

The lineup was a celebration of French music’s vibrant present and future, with DJ sets and live performances by Ronisia, Tiakola, Adèle Castillon, and miki. RnBoidelivered some of his biggest hits, whileCRYSTALLMESSand Jeune Morty played back-to-back in an eclectic set.

As the night went on, surprise performances from Eva, Miimii KDS, and Théodorakept the crowd buzzing, all culminating in an electrifying finale by Kalash.
