The Parisian
 

Clubbed Up.

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.

Big week for clubbing this week - Plastikman is in town, La Villette's Géode is 25 years old and there's a stellar lineup to celebrate it, the DFA crew hit La Machine Du Moulin Rouge on Saturday, Djoon plays host to Ian Friday and What The Funk do their thing at Favela Chic. Live music is looking good too with Woodpigeon in town for one night only at the intimate Espace B, Meursault at Truskel, Gil Scott-Heron at the New Morning and a night of avant-noise hosted by Massimo Pupillo. We've avoided the obvious, but it's probably worth mentioning here that LCD Soundsystem and Pavement are also in town this week - but you probably knew that, right?

In the galleries the highlight is a new exhibition by Majida Khattari, and in the world of dance Padmini Chettur's "Beautiful Thing 1" looks pretty special.

See you next week.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
