For Music Lovers

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.

Hello and welcome to this distinctly music-tilted issue, not for any reason other than that's what seems to be going on in our fair city this week. The clubs and gig venues are falling over themselves to bring you something special, whether it's Joakim, A Place To Bury Strangers and Dananananaykroyd at La Maroquinerie, Great Lake Swimmers at Glaz'art, Vieux Farka Touré at La Boule Noir or Golden Silvers and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart at Point Ephémère - there's something for every music lover over the next seven days. La Flèche d'Or reopens its doors after a six month sleep, too, making the cultural landscape a busier, more crowded and (most importantly) more wonderful place to be.

See you out there.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
