It might not quite have the international clout of London or Berlin, but Paris is no musical slouch: from the legendary jazz clubs to the thriving independent and underground music scenes, plus some seriously sharp record stores, there’s everything here for the connoisseur...
When? July 6,7,8 2017, from 5pm to midnight.
What? FNAC-sponsored outdoor music festival in central Paris.
Where? Hôtel de Ville.
Every year, powerhouse music retailer FNAC brings an impressive roster of artists to a stage outside the iconic Hôtel de Ville for four nights of great music with the FNAC Live festival, while smaller concerts are held at a more intimate venue at the Salon des Arcades. The 2017 line up is yet to be revealed but we expect big things... The 2016 edition featured the likes of Lianne La Havas, Lilly Wood & the Prick, Sage, Hyphen Hyphen, William Sheller and Keren Ann.
Tickets are free but you’ll need to be smart about getting them when they become available from FNAC outlets.
And the line-up for 2017 is *DRUMROLL*...
