Peacock Society is an annual electronic music festival held in Paris, France, known for its eclectic blend of techno, house, and experimental electronic music. Launched in 2013, it is a significant event in the European electronic music calendar, drawing approximately 25 000 music lovers from across the continent.

History

The festival was founded in 2013 by the Paris-based event companies We Love Art and Savoir-Faire, both of which have strong ties to the electronic music scene in France. The Peacock Society was conceived as a celebration of electronic cultures, aiming to showcase both established and emerging talents from France and around the world. The festival takes place in the scenic Parc floral de Paris, a large botanical garden in the city's Bois de Vincennes district.

In 2020 and 2021, The Peacock Society festival skipped two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2022, the festival was relocated from its usual venue at Parc Floral de Paris to Parc de Choisy in Créteil to continue its tradition of showcasing electronic music in a natural setting. After the pandemic, the festival returned to Parc Floral in 2024.

Format and venue

The Peacock Society typically runs for two days each summer, offering a carefully curated lineup that spans various sub-genres of electronic music. The festival is renowned for its immersive atmosphere, which is enhanced by cutting-edge visual installations and digital art displays.
