Festival Les Inrocks hits Paris!
Come to the French capital in November and experience both new and established artists alike at the incomparable Festival Les Inrocks.
Les Inrockuptibles is a French cultural magazine which started life in 1986 as a monthly magazine, with its focus very much on music, in particular new indie rock and alternative music. In 1995, the magazine went weekly and the content branched out into books, art, cinema and general society interests and comment.
Over the years, the magazine has been highly influential and effective at introducing bands like The Smiths and other similar ground-breaking bands to a wider French-speaking audience throughout the world. It was only a matter of time, therefore, that Les Inrocks decided to stage their own music festival, to bring both well-known artists and up-and-coming bands alike to the nation. Running since 1990, the festival has been bringing the cream of French and world-renowned artists to Paris and other venues in France ever since.
Past years have seen the likes of Florence and the Machine, The Kooks, Hot Chip, The Gossip, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon and The Killers all grace the stages of the festival, offering a variety of musical styles to the delight of the Inrocks crowds.
This year, new folk-rock band Dry the River, Friendly Fires, Laura Marling and Mercury Music Prize 2011 nominee James Blake are just a few of the names who will be performing at various venues including the Olympia, the Cigale, and the Boule Noire to name but a few.
From Wednesday 2nd to Tuesday 8th November, Paris will come alive with the sound of young, indie rock and folk-rock music – so don’t miss this chance to see some of your favourite artists and soon-to-be favourites in the fantastic French capital.
Whilst getting your rock fix in Paris, come stay with us at the Hotel Bassano in Paris’ famous Champs Elysées where we will take pleasure in looking after you in 4 star comfort.
