This edition of the festival in the Parc de Saint-Cloud, near Paris, was notably marked by the last-minute cancellations of two headliners, American rapper Doechii and American rapper ASAP Rocky.

The Île-de-France Rock en Seine 2025 festival brought together "150,000 festival-goers" over five days at the Parc de Saint-Cloud (Hauts-de-Seine), according to the first figures revealed by the organizers on Sunday, August 25 , "a few hours before the end of this edition."
