Dream Nation, the unmissable electronic festival of the end of summer, is making its 8th edition official. It will be held on 17 and 18 September 2021 at the Parc des Expositions Paris Le Bourget in a new setup, 100% Open Air. A date is set for a historic edition.

Reknown as one of the major events of the end of summer in the current french music area and more specifically on the electronic side, the Festival has established itself since 2014 as the biggest electronic mass in the Parisian area. Dream Nation’s mission has always been to bring together thousands of festival-goers to dance and dream.

Diversity, quality and difference are celebrated loud and clear!
With a new format, in a new context, spread over 2 days of celebration, the soul of the festival remains unchanged. Bringing together the best of electronic music, from the greatest international figures to the rising stars, Dream Nation is counting on a line-up that is representative of the eclecticism and richness of electronic culture in its universal dimension. This is enough to transport the more than 20,000 “dreamers” who gather there each year into a unique experience!

For its 8th edition, Dream Nation has once again seen things through with a dantean line up.
