The Peacock Society

Running since 2013, the Peacock Society has spent its life moving around Paris looking for the right bit of ground. It began at the Parc Floral in the Bois de Vincennes, then spent several editions at the Parc de Choisy in Val-de-Marne, and later had a stint at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes. The festival's own site places the 2026 edition, on 10 and 11 July, at FVTVR and Wanderlust, the neighbouring clubs at the Cité de la Mode et du Design on the Seine, though some listings still say the Hippodrome. It ran from 18:00 to 06:00 on the Friday and 16:00 to 07:00 on the Saturday, and those are proper hours. The booking mixes French names and imports: Busy P, Boys Noize and Flowdan in 2026, and earlier years had Nina Kraviz and Carl Craig for the fifth birthday. It is a Paris summer fixture and a useful measure of what the city's promoters think will sell. We found no attendance figure and no dates for 2027 at the time of writing.
