Event Details
Solidays 2027 – France's Biggest Solidarity Festival
Every June, the Solidays Festival transforms the Hippodrome de Paris-Longchamp into a vast space of music, encounter and solidarity. Founded in 1999 by the organisation Solidarité Sida, the festival has united more than 200,000 visitors from across Europe over three unforgettable days for over 25 years. All proceeds go directly towards HIV/AIDS prevention and support programmes in more than 42 countries.
Please note: The exact dates for 2027 have not yet been officially confirmed. The dates shown (late June 2027) are based on the pattern of previous editions and will be updated as soon as Solidarité Sida makes the official announcement. The 2026 edition was cancelled by authorities due to an exceptional heatwave in Paris; organisers have confirmed 2027 as the next edition.

Program and Stages
Solidays features up to nine stages, including the two main outdoor stages "Paris" and "Bagatelle" hosting the headline acts, plus three covered stages dedicated to emerging artists. Alongside the concerts, daily talks and panel discussions cover sexual health, human rights, climate justice and the lived experience of people with HIV. The Village Solidarité is the heart of the festival, where around 100 national and international organisations connect directly with the public.
The 2027 line-up has not yet been announced. Past editions have featured artists including Orelsan, GIMS, Zara Larsson, Bigflo & Oli, Major Lazer, Fisher, Sean Paul, MC Solaar, Justice and many more. The programme will be revealed progressively on solidays.org.
HIV/AIDS Awareness and Solidarity
Solidays is far more than a music festival. Since its founding, the event has helped fund over 2,550 prevention and support projects in more than 42 countries. 100% of ticket sales and merchandise revenue goes directly into Solidarité Sida's programmes: awareness of transmission routes, promoting testing, reducing stigma and ensuring access to treatment for people living with HIV. The festival is explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly and creates a discrimination-free space for everyone.
Tickets
The 3-day pass traditionally starts at €39 during the early-bird sale (first wave of 25,000 passes), rising to up to €159 as the festival approaches. Single-day tickets are also available (early-bird from around €59, standard rate €64 to €69). All passes are personalised and non-transferable. Official resales take place exclusively through the Resell platform on the festival website. Tickets for 2027 are expected to go on sale in December 2026.
Visitor Tips
- Secure early-bird tickets in December; the first 25,000 passes at €39 typically sell out within minutes.
- Travel by Métro Line 10 (Boulogne-Jean Jaurès station, then 20 minutes on foot) or RATP shuttle from Porte Maillot; driving is not recommended.
- Book accommodation in the 16th arrondissement, Boulogne-Billancourt or Neuilly-sur-Seine as early as possible.
- Campers: the official Camping de Paris is a short distance from the site; campervans and caravans are not permitted.
- Parking passes are not available after the festival opens; purchase in advance if driving is unavoidable.
- Glass containers are strictly prohibited on the festival grounds.
- Colourful outfits and costumes are warmly welcomed and very much part of the Solidays spirit.
