We Love Green 2026: artists to discover beyond the headliners

This year, the We Love Green festival is once again establishing itself as a must-attend event in the Paris region.

However, the real richness of this eco-friendly festival also lies in the lesser-known artists who deserve your full attention.

Charli XCX, Laylow, Tiakola, SDM and FKA TWIGS are just some of the names on thebill. But beyond these established stars, We Love Green offers three days of musical discoveries and highlights. Each day has its own surprises in store for curious festival-goers.

From the very first day, the atmosphere builds steadily with artists from a variety of backgrounds. Yoa gets the ball rolling with her spellbinding melodies. In addition, Sudan Archives offers a daring blend of RnB and orchestral music that will appeal to even the most demanding ears.

The Friday evening then promises to get even more intense. DJ Gigola and Laze take over to keep the crowd dancing into the night. All in all, this first day sets the tone for the rest of the weekend.
