Street art works by more than 60 renowned artists, including legendary figures like Banksy, OBEY, Invader, JR, KAWS, and Keith Haring, will soon transform an abandoned ice rink on the outskirts of Paris for the second edition of the Urban de Paname festival. Following the resounding success of its inaugural edition, the festival is making a grand return to the Saint-Ouen Ice Rink for what promises to be a monumental second installment, with ticket sales opening on November 11.
The festival represents an exceptional opportunity for street art enthusiasts, running from November 20, 2025, through February 20, 2026. The world's cream of street art, featuring icons such as Banksy, Obey, Invader, JonOne, JR, KAWS, Mr. Chat, and Vhils, will take residence in an unexpected yet mythical location in the inner suburbs of Paris. Organizers are encouraging visitors to forget traditional galleries, as this year the underground art scene is gaining momentum and establishing its headquarters at the Saint-Ouen ice rink, serving as a true artistic springboard.
The Saint-Ouen Ice Rink, originally inaugurated in 1980, will be transformed into a playground for street art during Urban de Paname II. This architectural gem, a masterpiece of brutalist design, has been repurposed as an art gallery space specifically for this exhibition. The venue itself is already a work of art, providing an ideal brutalist setting to highlight urban creations from more than 60 street art giants. This temporary temple of urban art will bring together works that are rarely seen in such a perfectly positioned location, just steps away from Paris and accessible via metro lines 13 and 14.
The festival serves as a bridge between contemporary art and urban art, functioning as an incubator for talent and a flagship event against elitism in the art world. Urban de Paname has already established its reputation as a significant cultural event, and this year's lineup is absolutely extraordinary. The festival brings together legends who have written and continue to write the history of the genre, featuring some of the most sought-after signatures on the planet.
The star-studded lineup includes not only the unmissable Banksy, KAWS, and Invader, but also prominent artists such as Futura 2000, Vhils, Speedy Graphito, JonOne, JR, Mr. Brainwash, and a constellation of other talents including Daniel Arsham, Dondi White, Takeru Amano, and Crash. More than 60 names have been announced for this exceptional exhibition, promising a genuine panorama of urban art from pioneers to current phenomena. The event represents the ultimate collection of urban art that has been assembled for this occasion.
For all enthusiasts of spray paint and stencil art, this event is the must-see appointment of the season. Street art is far from dead – it is no longer confined to walls alone and vibrates stronger than ever in Saint-Ouen, in a location that perfectly embodies the subversive values carried by the event. The venue choice reflects the festival's commitment to challenging traditional art spaces and bringing world-class street art to an unconventional setting.
The festival will be held at the Saint-Ouen Ice Rink, located at 4 Rue du Dr Bauer, 93400, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, and will be easily accessible via metro lines 13 and 14 at the Mairie de Saint-Ouen station. Visitors can already join the waiting list for exclusive access, with official ticket sales beginning November 11. This represents a perfect opportunity for an unprecedented artistic escape in the Île-de-France region.
