Jen Cardini launches Nightclubbing festival celebrating club culture in Paris

Paris is about to host Nightclubbing Festival, a groundbreaking event celebrating the culture and power of nightlife. Led by DJ Jen Cardini, it transforms the dan-cefloor into a space of communi-ty, resistance, and creativity.

Spread across multiple Paris venues, the festival will showcase music, talks, art installations, and collaborations with partners like Mutek, providing a space to reflect on nightlife's political and cultural role. Paris, a historic hub of underground culture, becomes a global stage to rethink clubbing as a collective and transformative movement.

Before the official debut, Nightclubbing will energize audiences with preview events across European clubs, promising a festival that's both a love letter to the dancefloor and a bold celebration of nightlife as cultural activism Paris is set to shine with the inaugural Nightclubbing Festival, a unique event celebrating nightlife culture and electronic music from September 24 to 27, 2026, at La Vil-lette park.

Created by Jen Cardini, a French electronic music veteran with over thirty years of dedication, Nightclubbing grew from underground queer parties into a festival honoring the dancefloor as a space for sharing, resistance, and inclu-sion.

The event highlights the cultural and social power of dance floors by linking the history of dance mu-sic-from Chicago house to Detroit techno and European free par-ties-with current struggles for LGBTQIA+ rights, climate justice, and gender equality.
