Creation and Transmission
Rock en Seine is committed to young artists with Club Avant Seine and Première Seine. And every year the festival opens up to other rich and dynamic cultural fields, with the aim of offering artists maximum creative freedom.
Club Avant Seine
Thérapie Taxi, Fauve, Clara Luciani, Jeanne Added, Feu! Chatterton, Lord Esperanza, Malik Djoudi, François & The Atlas Mountains, Lily Wood And The Prick, Zaho de Sagazan, Novembre Ultra … They’re pop, rock, electro, hip hop… What do they have in common? The Club Avant Seine jersey!
Club Avant Seine is a whole ecosystem at the service of the independent scene and young French talent.
Every year since its third edition in 2005, Rock en Seine has played its role as a discoverer, seeking out the big names of tomorrow. Throughout the year, a jury of music professionals (artists, programmers, journalists, etc.) selects six French artists to perform at the festival.
As part of this program, the artists are also featured throughout the summer on our social networks, through interviews and sessions.
Premiere Seine
Première Seine. Behind the pun, a high school springboard initiated in 2017 by the Île-de-France region and organized by Rock en Seine!
Or the chance for tens of thousands of high school students to go behind the scenes of a major festival, perform live at the Domaine de Saint-Cloud, and benefit from professional advice. A few figures? Some twenty partners from 8 departments in the Paris region, and music groups from over 240 high-school students.
It’s an unprecedented and important event, in keeping with Rock en Seine’s values of curiosity and transmission.
Mini Rock en Seine
Rock en Seine is also for youngsters!
Since 2009, Rock en Seine has been offering Mini Rock, a festival on their own scale and away from the crowds, especially for the children of festival-goers, aged 6 to 11, with a team of supervisors… And it’s free (within the limit of 100 places available per day)!
A day-care center? Far from it, if not the coolest in the world! Mini Rock is a unique opportunity to discover rock culture, explore musical imaginations and learn about a host of artistic practices. Also on the program: an introduction to budding journalism, artist interviews, exclusive workshops and more…
In short, the aim is to pass on experiences, emotions, passions and vocations.
PARTNERSHIP WITH ECOLE ESTIENNE
Every year, the Duroc metro station on line 10 becomes Durock, thanks to the exclusive creations of students from the prestigious École supérieure des arts et industries graphiques Estienne.
To highlight the richness of 20 years of programming at Rock en Seine, students from the illustration section of the prestigious Ecole Estienne (Ecole supérieure des arts et industries graphiques) have imagined and designed a selection of posters featuring each leading artist from past and present editions.
This partnership with the Ecole Estienne has culminated in a preview exhibition of the posters in the metro, during the now famous transformation of the “Duroc” station into “Du rock”!
