Questions, questions...

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.

This week's cultural diary raises a number of questions. Will MF Doom show up? Is a Hot Chip DJ set in a small club more fun than a Hot Chip live show in a huge venue? Is drum & bass massive? Is there a place for blues in space?

We can answer one of those questions immediately - yes, drum & bass is massive, and it's coming to your town. The Taktile Touch party at Glaz'art is one of our hottest tips this week, and we have five pairs of tickets to give away! Just send an email to hello@theparisian.org with the word TOUCH in the subject line to be in with a chance.

As for the other questions, answers on a postcard please...

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
