Live Music Paris October 2026 | Concerts & Gig Guide

Paris starts October 2026 with a frantic pace. ## Alhambra Theater AMENRA takes over on 2 October. These Belgians don't do light listening; it is heavy post-metal built on slow, punishing riffs and monochrome visuals. Expect a lot of tension, minimal lighting, and a set that moves from quiet spoken word to total sonic collapse. LEO MIDDEA brings a completely different energy on 4 October. He is back for a second night on 7 October to run through more of his breezy, romantic repertoire. FATHER OF PEACE is up on 6 October. You can expect plenty of vocal harmonies. JOEP BEVING arrives 8 October. It is moody, cinematic neoclassical music that favors resonance over showing off. This Uruguayan outfit blends rock with reggae and ska, backed by a full brass section. They like to weave Murga patterns into the drums, making for a dense, loud mix. POMPLAMOOSE brings their viral indie-pop energy on 14 October. KÄÄRIJÄ lands on 16 October. If you want Finnish industrial-metal mixed with eurodance and rap, this is it. ## Bataclan ME GUSTAS TU, SIDI WACHO, and FLAGRANTS DELIRES share a bill on 2 October. It is a night of festive Latin rock and political hip-hop. ORISHAS follows on 3 October. VINCENT PEIRANI plays 5 October. He is a French accordionist who treats his instrument like a rock star would, blending jazz improv with folk textures. It is fluid and usually full of surprises. GAVIN DEGRAW is in town 9 October. Expect a soul-influenced pop-rock set heavy on the piano triplets. GIBRAN ALCOCER performs 10 October. This is purely solo acoustic piano. The Mexican artist writes cinematic, melodic pieces that lean on repetitive left-hand patterns. DAVID DUCHOVNY plays 11 October. Yes, the actor. His music is 70s-style alternative rock delivered in a conversational baritone. It's unpretentious folk-rock. The former Yes frontman still has that high-register voice. AUTECHRE plays 14 October. They usually perform in total darkness. This is symphonic rock at its most literal. Expect strings, major chords, and very polished vocal harmonies. LAKE STREET DIVE arrives 16 October. They have a great swing-oriented groove, mixing jazz phrasing with soul. ## New Morning Thee Sinseers are here 2 October. This is Chicano soul straight out of California. It is slow, deliberate, and sounds like a vintage R&B record coming to life. Justin Hicks feat. Marvin Sewell & Kyle Miles joins Morley feat. Chris Bruce & Yuval Lion on 5 October. Things will get loose and avant-garde. Monty Alexander arrives 6 October. The Jamaican pianist is a legend for a reason. He mixes Caribbean folk with bop-era swing, using a percussive right hand that flies across the keys. Michel Alibo performs 7 October. He is a monster on the bass. Guinga & Yamandu Costa play 8 October. This is a masterclass in fingerstyle Brazilian guitar. They use seven-string instruments to play dense, chromatic choro and samba.

If you like Cuban timba, you need to be here. ## La Boule Noire JETLAG : RELEASE PARTY DE BAOZI + CUMULUS. + ILO NAVAHY kicks off 3 October at 19:30.

This is an anniversary marathon for the open-stage institution. Expect a bit of everything, from music to spoken word, moving at a fast clip. COURTNEY BARNETT is in on 11 October at 19:00. Her set is usually a fuzzy indie-rock masterclass. She does deadpan, observational lyrics better than almost anyone else touring right now. ## Backstage By The Mill SAMURAI PIZZA CATS play 5 October. This German metalcore act loves a good drop-tuned breakdown. They mix screaming with huge, melodic choruses. ## Salle Pleyel ED O'BRIEN appears 8 October at 20:00. The Radiohead guitarist focuses on atmospheric textures for his solo work. He uses delay pedals to create massive, reverberant soundscapes. OLAFUR ARNALDS performs 9 October. He uses self-playing pianos and live strings to create meditative, ambient music. The sub-bass from his synths is a nice touch. RICARDO MONTANER sings 14 October at 20:00. He is a powerhouse of Latin pop. FKJ plays 16 October at 20:00. He is a one-man band, looping guitar, sax, and keys in real-time.
