"Les Foudres": The Bataclan Announces the First Awards Ceremony Dedicated to Metal
As part of its new strategy, Paris Entertainment Company is launching the production of its own events within its venues, thereby affirming its desire to control the value chain and boost the appeal of its iconic locations.
The revolution is underway! France, a historical stronghold of arts and culture, takes a bold new step with Les Foudres, the very first awards ceremony dedicated to celebrating and honoring the talents of French Metal —whether they be artists, professionals, cultural contributors, or behind-the-scenes figures. Mark your calendars for October 9, 2025, at the Bataclan, Paris' iconic rock venue, for an electrifying evening! !

Long marginalized, Metal culture is finally stepping into the spotlight. Powered by major events like Hellfest and iconic artists such as Gojira, the French Metal scene is shining on a global scale.

An event like no other
Les Foudres will be a masterful blend of awards and unforgettable performances! Hosted by iconic Metal figures, the evening promises powerful moments combining music, humor, and spectacular happenings. With a variety of categories—from Best Album to Best Social Initiative—every aspect of this culture will be brought to light.
A commitment to the future
Les Foudres is not just about celebrating the present; it’s about building the future! The ceremony will highlight creative and responsible initiatives, whether environmental, social, or cultural. By honoring committed artists and professionals, it will affirm Metal’s role as a driver of innovation and transformation.
A call to the public
With open voting and a live broadcast, Les Foudres aims to reach far beyond the Metal insiders. The declared goal of this historic event: to break stereotypes, showcase the richness of this universe, and unite people around a shared passion.
A historic evening
This first edition of Les Foudres, hosted by the Bataclan, will mark a turning point in the French cultural landscape: a memorable evening at the crossroads of art, music, and the "Free Spirit since 1865" ethos cherished by this Parisian venue!
