The Parisian
 

Villette Sonique 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.

The sun is out (sometimes), the parks are filling up at the weekend and it's time once again for that most highly anticipated of annual aural treats: Villette Sonique. With performances this year from Deerhoof, Sunn O))), Black Lips, Liquid Liquid and Richie Hawtin amongst others, this is one five day musical stretch you won't want to miss.

Elsewhere in the Parisian arts world there's heavy club action at Batofar featuring Benny Page, visual art from Jean-Luc Moulene, films by Véronique Boudier and dance from American choreographer Meg Stuart.

See you next week!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
