From October 27 to 29, the third edition of the festival They’re Gonna Be Big will take place in Paris. The event, held at the Supersonic venue, serves as a crucial gathering for fans of the indie music scene. It transforms the space into a platform for emerging artists in genres such as rock, indie pop, art rock, post-punk, shoegaze, noise, grunge, goth, and electropunk—many of whom have never performed in France before. The festival promises to showcase artists who may soon become major names in the music world.
In an era where streaming platforms and social media recommend thousands of new tracks daily, discovering an artist who stands out can feel increasingly challenging. However, They’re Gonna Be Big offers a unique alternative to algorithm-driven recommendations. The event takes place in a small concert hall with a few hundred spectators, providing an intimate setting for groups that are still unknown to the wider public. Over the past decade, the Supersonic venue has hosted nearly 5,000 groups across its two locations and various festivals. Many of these artists have since become well-known names in the music industry, such as English Teacher, CQ Wrestling, Pale Blue Eyes, Hallan, Honeyglaze, Chalk, Enola Gay, Courting, Softcult, and Opus Kink.
The festival spans three days and includes performances at multiple venues: the Supersonic Club, the Supersonic Records, and La Seine Café. A dozen groups will perform for the first time in Paris, offering attendees the chance to see emerging talent before it becomes widely known. The programming covers a wide range of the current alternative music scene, with artists like Alien Boy, Tracey Nelson, RejoiceIn4K, Flowers For The Dead, and Sunset Images set to take the stage. Each of these acts represents a different facet of the indie music landscape, from established labels to new and experimental projects.
Over time, They’re Gonna Be Big has become a key event for those who actively seek out indie music. It brings together a pool of raw, untapped talent that is on the verge of breaking through. For those who want to experience the future of music firsthand, the festival offers a rare opportunity to discover the next big names before they become household names.
