Warp Week

Welcome to The Parisian, your source for what's on this week, and this weekend, in Paris. Looking for clubs, gigs, art shows, exhibitions, film, dance and theatre in Paris? We sort through hundreds of events every week and bring you the cream of the crop.

Well, despite the continued spread of the Truffle Snuffles (Orwell had it right, those pigs will get us in the end...), we're still here. And praise be for that, because this is a very, very special week in the Parisian cultural calendar. We have many of the usual suspects - our feathered friends Birdy Nam Nam, the inescapable Boys Noize, the Institubes crew - but there are a few extra special bits. Most notably, Warp Records are twenty years old, and to celebrate they've got Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Chris Cunningham, Luke Vibert, Clark, Plaid and a host of other near-legendary acts gracing the stage at the Cite de la Musique.

So get out there, enjoy the music and art, and sneeze sensibly!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
