DISNEYLAND Paris is to stage the resort’s first-ever music festival next year with a host of events spearheaded by a pop-rock concert celebrating the Mouse’s greatest hits over the years.

Running from April 25 to September 7, 2025, Disney Music Festival attractions will also include a new Minnie Mouse parade with a marching band, and a focus on music from the Moana movies.

No news yet on who’ll be appearing at the festival, but Disney has a long track record of working with a wide range of big-name artists, and earlier this year ventured into new territory with the release of a pop-rock album.

A Whole New Sound, riffing on A Whole New World from Aladdin, featured a roster of pop-punk acts reworking movie soundtrack songs, including New Found Glory, Simple Plan, Plain White T’s and Bowling For Soup.

Organisers said today: “All across the Park, venues will come alive with melodies, concerts, and shows that reflect the rich, diverse musical worlds of Disney and Pixar.

“With live performances by singers interpreting both beloved classics and contemporary hits from Disney Animation and Pixar animated films, this musical event will have every generation singing and dancing along.”

The news was announced alongside the launch of a new night-time sound and light spectacular featuring 20 new arrangements of Disney and Pixar soundtrack hits, alongside new anthem Live In Magic by Noémie Legrand.

Disney Tales Of Magic is a 20-minute show that will open on January 10, 2025, using state of the art lighting and drone technology along the whole of the park’s Main Street USA.
