Peacock Society final edition and 27-hour format change

The Peacock Society final edition and 27-hour format change marks a decisive shift for the festival, which announced it will celebrate its final edition after 12 years and move to a 27-hour non-stop music party across the FVTVR and Wanderlust clubs. Organizers have confirmed the event will not be held at the Hippodrome of Paris-Vincennes like last year, and the entire line-up will be spread across the stages of FVTVR and Wanderlust, including the terrace and club-restaurant. Only horsegiirL and Sedef Adasï will ultimately not be present. The spaces will be completely reinvented and transformed with the immersive and avant-garde scenography characteristic of the festival.

The festival began at Parc Floral de Vincennes in 2013 and was held there again in 2024, before moving to Parc de Choisy from 2021 to 2023 and then to the Hippodrome of Paris-Vincennes since last year. DJ sets on the announced line-up include Four Tet, Boys Noize, Floating Points, and SebastiAn. Purchased tickets remain valid and will be refunded at the new price, or fully refunded if attendees no longer wish to attend. Some artists expressed support on Instagram, such as Tessa DixSon and DJ Erna.

Organizational challenges and statements from Elio Froidevaux

Elio Froidevaux described the operational difficulties facing the festival in the announcement: “We won’t surprise you: working in culture these days is complicated, even for organizations that have existed for more than 12 years like us. At the beginning of 2026, we started off enthusiastic despite the usual obstacles multiplying day by day. But today, we must face the current situation: producing two days of open-air festival at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes endangers the total survival of our organization.” These remarks appear in the public communication from the organizers and outline the conditions they cited when explaining recent decisions.

The announcement also included shorter, directive statements by the same spokesperson, writing “At every problem, a solution.” It further asserted that “The spaces will be completely reinvented and transformed with the immersive and avant-garde scenography characteristic of the festival.” These sentences are presented as part of the organizers’ explanation of how they intend to proceed amid the difficulties described by Froidevaux.
