Paris festival They’re Gonna Be Big announces first names for 2025 edition

Returning to Paris for its second year, new festival They’re Gonna Be Big has confirmed the first wave of acts on its 2025 lineup - a bill that’s set to celebrate some of the most exciting new names in DIY rock, punk, and shoegaze.

Taking place from 28th-30th October, They’re Gonna Be Big 2025 will consist of 21 bands, each of which will be playing in Paris for the very first time at one of the festival’s three venues: Supersonic Club, Supersonic Records, and La Seine Cafe.

Among these first names are Leeds-based rockers Fuzz Lightyear (who blew our socks off back in January at DIY’s Hello 2025 showcase) New York upstarts Native Sun, and Swiss outfit Glaascats, as well as more newcomers from around the UK and USA.

Many more bands are still yet to be announced so watch this space; in the meantime, you can find out more and grab tickets for They’re Gonna Be Big here.
