SUPERSONIC (Paris 12th)
This event has ended.
About
By launching its They’re Gonna Be Big night in 2021, the Supersonic wanted to create a format of pure discovery, a launchpad for ultra-promising artists who haven't yet been spotted by the masses, by offering them an opportunity to win over the audience with their first French stage appearance! We have seen the emergence of now-established talents such as English Teacher, Courting, Illuminati Hotties, Opus Kink, Chappaqua Wrestling, Softcult, Enola Gay, Floodlights, zzzahara, and Chalk.
The success of these regular nights has been such that the Supersonic decided to launch a festival dedicated to this discovery format every autumn.
Our take on this event
The iconic Bastille stage is raising the bar by curating an entire festival dedicated to tomorrow's breakthrough indie acts. Expect a relentless surge of raw energy from artists you won't hear on the radio yet but definitely will very soon. Grab a front-row spot to witness the moment these rising stars start their ascent.
The TGBB Festival returns to Supersonic in Paris's 12th arrondissement from October 27 to October 29, 2026. This autumn event serves as a launchpad for up-and-coming artists, providing attendees the opportunity to witness the debut French performances of promising international talents. Spanning three nights, the festival showcases the next wave of independent acts from 19:00 to 00:00. Those interested in experiencing this curated discovery format can secure their attendance through a 3-Day Pass priced at 39 euros, covering the entire event duration.
Originally established by Supersonic in 2021, the They’re Gonna Be Big series has evolved into an annual festival dedicated to musical discovery. The event acts as a platform for emerging artists to showcase their work to a wider audience, often marking their very first performance on a French stage. Previous editions have successfully introduced breakthrough acts such as English Teacher, Courting, and Opus Kink, establishing the festival's reputation as a key scouting ground.
The 2026 edition takes place over three consecutive nights, running from Tuesday, October 27, to Thursday, October 29. Each evening, the venue at 9 Rue Biscornet opens its doors from 19:00 until 00:00 to host a selection of high-potential performers. Access to all three days of the festival is available via a 3-Day Pass, which can be purchased in advance for 39 euros.
