Club avant Seine
Club Avant Seine is a unique and ever-evolving initiative that places emerging bands and their professional network at the heart of the project. Since 2005, Rock en Seine has played the role of a talent scout, searching for the big names of tomorrow, with a jury of professionals selecting the artists.
On the hunt
for tomorrow’s big names.



LOOKING BACK AT 2024
In 2024, Rock en Seine offered a training program for Club Avant Seine artists, featuring three full days of workshops.
Developed after a series of interviews with past Club Avant Seine artists, this unique program explored new themes and complemented other training opportunities available through various support programs.
The first day focused on the artist’s body and health, with insights from a range of experts (nutritionist, clinical psychologist, …). Following a masterclass by Jeanne Added, a Club Avant Seine 2014 artist, the day ended with informal networking between artists, the programming team, and festival partners.
The second day centered on media relations and interview techniques, featuring several industry professionals (musical director, press officer, journalist…).
A third and final training day took place in September 2024.
Rock en Seine aims to leverage its ties with key international players, particularly in the UK market, to benefit the young artists it supports. As a result, three artists from the Club Avant Seine 2024 selection had the opportunity to perform at the following festivals in summer 2024 :
- ALL POINT EAST
- BRITISH SUMMER TIME
