Chappell Roan Opens Rock en Seine With Theatrical Set at Her Only France Date of 2025

Festival organizers elevated her to the first-night slot following an early booking during a rapid rise.

Overview

  • Roan launched the Paris-area festival on Wednesday night with a highly produced show that drew roughly 35,000 fans singing along.
  • The set mixed spectacle and musicianship, opening with a storybook haunted-tower tableau and deploying bold costuming, choreography and pyrotechnic flourishes.
  • She ran through fan favorites including Good Luck, Babe!, HOT TO GO! and Pink Pony Club, and performed The Subway, released on July 31.
  • The 27-year-old Missourian, celebrated for a camp-and-drag-inflected aesthetic, was named the 2025 Grammy winner for best new artist.
  • On stage she thanked the crowd, taught the HOT TO GO! dance, apologized for a previously canceled Paris date, and surprised with a cover of Heart’s Barracuda.
