how to get a ticket for the ceremony?

An unmissable event for urban cultures, the Flames ceremony is preparing to mark a major turning point in May 2025. For its third edition, the French event celebrating rap, R&B and their associated trends is leaving the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris to settle in La Seine Musicale, a larger and more emblematic space in Boulogne-Billancourt (Paris region).

This move, scheduled for May 13, 2025, accompanies the growing influence of this evening dedicated to popular cultures. But the 2025 edition is not content with a simple change of scenery: it is open to the general public, offering an immersive experience to all enthusiasts.

A ceremony with more audience

The decision to expand access to the ceremony responds to strong demand from fans, as highlighted by the organization in a press release published on November 25. After a pre-sale reserved for Spotify subscribers – historic partner of the event – ​​the official ticket office opens its doors this Wednesday, November 27 from 2 p.m., with a first price set at 50 euros. Places will also be reserved for associations and the Pass Culture system.

Amadou Ba, co-founder of the media Position-P and co-producer of Les Flammes with YARD, describes this opening to the public as “true accomplishment”adding in the press release: “I'm sure it will give more energy to the show. » This development promises to transform the event, strengthening its dynamism and its connection with the public.

An alternative to the Victoires de la Musique

Created in 2023 in reaction to the shortcomings of the Victoires de la Musique, long criticized for their lack of recognition towards hip-hop, Les Flammes has established itself as a legitimate space for the celebration of urban music. The 2024 edition notably crowned Aya Nakamura, female artist of the year, and Gazo, male artist of the year.

Unlike traditional ceremonies, the Flames nominations and winners combine the vote of the public and that of a jury, guaranteeing increased representativeness. Previous editions have been broadcast on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch, and although the broadcaster for this new edition has yet to be announced, the event promises to further expand its reach.

An evening dedicated to creativity

With its more than 6,000 seats, La Seine Musicale will offer an ideal setting for unique performances, affirming its role as an essential springboard to give increased visibility to urban music in France. However, the event will face significant competition: the opening of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, scheduled for the same day.
