Additional extras that the festival have organised at Rock en Seine are;

Rockfolio An exhibition of photography about rock music. This year, the French photographer Robin is the guest. His collection, Lift’in has been realized since 2004 in the television studio of a French canal, Canal +. Every week, Robin took picture of international stars (Björk, Placebo, Radiohead, REM, Depeche Mode…), all invited to the famous tv show, L’Album de la semaine. The result is a large range of pictures all taken at the same place, but in a different atmosphere: amazing!

Les Avant Seine With « Les Avant Seine », Rock en Seine want to promote the local scene. Six bands are selected by a jury (during the year, they attended gigs in order to discover the new talents from Paris) to play on the stage of Rock en Seine. They become integrated to the official schedule, in order to get a big opportunity to catch new public. The six bands “Avant Seine” in 2009 are:
