CREATION AND TRANSMISSION
Rock en Seine is committed to young artists with Club Avant Seine. And every year the festival opens up to other rich and dynamic cultural fields, with the aim of offering young artists maximum creative freedom.
CLUB AVANT SEINE
Club Avant Seine is a whole ecosystem dedicated to the independent scene and emerging French talent.
Since its third edition in 2005, Rock en Seine has embraced its role as a talent scout, seeking out the stars of tomorrow. Throughout the year, a jury of music professionals – artists, bookers, journalists, and more – selects French artists to perform at the festival.
PREMIÈRE SEINE
Première Seine. More than just a play on words, it’s a high school talent springboard launched in 2017 by the Île-de-France region and organized by Rock en Seine !
A unique opportunity for tens of thousands of high school students to get a behind-the-scenes look at a major festival, perform live at the Domaine de Saint-Cloud, and receive guidance from industry professionals.
Some key numbers ? Around twenty partners across the eight departments of the Paris region, and over 240 high school musicians taking part.
A groundbreaking and essential initiative, perfectly aligned with Rock en Seine’s core values: curiosity and knowledge-sharing.
MINI ROCK
Since 2009, Rock en Seine has been offering Mini Rock – a festival on their scale, away from the crowds, designed especially for festival-goers’ children aged 6 to 11, with a dedicated team of supervisors… And it’s free (limited to 100 spots per day) !
A daycare ? Not even close – unless it’s the coolest one in the world ! Mini Rock is a unique opportunity to dive into rock culture, explore musical creativity, and try out a variety of artistic activities. Also on the agenda: an introduction to journalism for kids, artist interviews, exclusive workshops, and more…
At its core, it’s all about passing on experiences, emotions, passions, and even sparking new vocations.
PARTNERSHIP WITH GRAPHISM STUDENTS
Every year, the Duroc metro station on lines 10 and 13 transforms into Durock, thanks to exclusive creations by students from the renowned École Estienne, a prestigious institution specializing in graphic arts and visual communication.
To showcase the depth of Rock en Seine’s lineup, students from the illustration department at École Estienne design a series of posters featuring festival artists.
This collaboration culminates in a poster exhibition, previewed in the metro during the now-iconic transformation of “Duroc” into “Du rock” !
