David Guetta’s Ultimate Monolith Show transformed Paris into the epicentre of electronic music this weekend, bringing together some of the industry’s biggest names for a three-night celebration at the Stade de France. Marking 25 years of chart-topping hits, the French superstar delivered a spectacle that blended dance music, pop culture and family milestones, with a stacked lineup of guests and opening acts helping make the event one of the standout moments of the summer festival season.
The celebrations extended well beyond Guetta’s own performance. Jennifer Lopez joined him on stage, sharing moments from the night on social media with the caption, “On The Floor with David Guetta in Paris!!!” Akon also made a surprise appearance, revisiting some of the duo’s biggest collaborations, while the opening slots across the three nights showcased dance music’s diversity with Armin van Buuren, FISHER and Black Coffee each taking to the stage. Black Coffee later reflected on the whirlwind weekend, posting, “A Saturday well spent in Paris & Ibiza. Two countries & vibes… Summer is in full swing,” while thanking Guetta for the invitation and his Hi Ibiza family for another unforgettable night.
Away from the guest appearances, one of the evening’s most memorable moments came from closer to home. Guetta revealed that his son, Elvis Guetta, had opened for him during the event, sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram. “Having my son Elvis open for me was such a symbol,” he wrote. “We play a totally different music but with the same passion. It makes me proud and happy.” The moment offered fans a rare glimpse into the personal side of one of dance music’s biggest stars while highlighting the next generation of talent beginning to emerge. 
Drawing tens of thousands of fans to one of Europe’s most iconic venues, the Ultimate Monolith Show reinforced Guetta’s status as one of electronic music’s defining figures. With surprise collaborations, genre-spanning performances and a cast of artists representing different corners of the global dance scene, the Paris spectacle served as both a celebration of Guetta’s career and a reminder of electronic music’s ability to bring together artists and audiences from around the world.
