Overview

  • The five-day festival runs August 20–24 at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud near Paris, with Queens of the Stone Age set for Sunday.
  • Kid Cudi has been booked to replace ASAP Rocky, who dropped several European festival dates.
  • Kneecap remains scheduled after the subsidy pull, and director Matthieu Ducos said the team received assurances of calm as member Liam O’Hanna faces a London court hearing on Wednesday.
  • Regular-price tickets are still available for each day, while reduced-rate tickets are sold out and availability is tightest for Wednesday and Sunday.
  • The forecast calls for light rain during Wednesday’s opening night, followed by mostly dry, cool conditions through the weekend.
