Faced with the risk of another evening of urban violence, Mylène Farmer’s concerts are canceled on Friday June 30 and Saturday July 1 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis), franceinfo learned from a source close to the file on Friday. In a tweet, the prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis indicates that the decision was taken by the interministerial crisis unit.
In Paris, the last evening of the Fnac Live Paris festival is also canceled on the forecourt of the Hôtel de Ville, announces Fnac on Twitter. The festival started last Wednesday and was due to end Friday for this 12th edition. There were around thirty concerts accessible free of charge and therefore no tickets to be reimbursed.
“We thank the artists scheduled for this evening and the public for their understanding.“, adds Fnac.

The Barrière Enghien Jazz Festival also announces in a press release the cancellation of its concerts on Saturday and Sunday. “Following the prefectural decree of Friday June 30, 2023, we regret to have to cancel the concerts scheduled for this Saturday July 1 and Sunday July 2 on the stages of the Jardin des Roses and the Lac“, in Enghien-les-Bains in the Val-d’Oise, write the organizers.
