Laurent Garnier Chilly Gonzales Darkside The 20th edition of Les Nuits Sonores De Lyon promises to be eclectic And

Twenty years have passed since Lyon's city center was rocked by the Nuits Sonores festival. Additionally, it is an accomplishment to have gone 20 years without sleeping.

The general manager of Nuits Sonores, Vincent Carry, assures that it is "very symbolic and very moving for us, it already tells a long story.". With over 200 events spread out across the city, the event has created a lineup for its anniversary.

For this new edition, which runs from May 17 to May 21, 2023, there will be five days and five nights of insanity on the menu. In order to explore the full range of electronic music, 170 artists representing 26 different nationalities will participate.

As a result, we will encounter well-known performers and celebrities from around the world as well as up-and-coming musicians and regional record labels. Because, as the new artistic director Pierre Zeinet asserts, it is once more a matter of "reinventing the dance floor.".

Faithful to the Nuits Sonores since the beginning, the musician will close the doors of the final day in style, and who better to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the festival in style than Laurent Garnier. Pierre Zeinet says, "We don't yet have the playlist or the schedule for the evening; it's still top secret." He then declares that the concert has already reached its capacity.

Chilly Gonzales will light the main hall of the Auditorium on fire on May 21. He too creates the event at each of his visits. The Canadian musician is capable of putting on the best shows with his pianos. He is accustomed to giving bizarre performances that occasionally go all night long.

Chilly Gonzales reinterprets the catalog of her contemporaries as well as her own compositions with talent and craziness, covering artists like Billie Eillish and Daft Punk. The duo Darkside will perform at Les Substances as part of the theme of these Nuits Sonores.

The American collective will occupy the site's glass roof for four evenings starting on May 17 and running through May 20. We will also find Maceo Plex, Plaid, Jane Fitz, LSDXOXO, Maqui Son Sistèm, Jennifer Cardini, or The Blessed Madonna among the artists scheduled.

The party will take place in several iconic festival locations as well as brand-new spaces over the course of five nights and six days at four different locations. The four nights will be held in Les Usines Fagor, an industrial wasteland with large hangars.

Due to its upcoming conversion into a tram depot, this will also be the final time the location serves as the festival's stage. Les Nuits will provide festival-goers with an à la carte schedule this year that features three distinct styles.

Therefore, starting at 10 p., the Fagor Factories will deliver. m.

According to Pierre Zeinet, there are "high masses in monostage around historical figures of electronic music and contemporary artists.". We'll recall, among other things, the performances of the Belgian Charlotte Adigéry, Bolis Pupul, German Ellen Alien, Israeli Red Axes, German Ellen Alien, Ukrainian Nastia, and Italian Caterine Barbieri.

The Days' sets will be played on the walls of the Sucrière, which is where festival attendees can find them. The Esplanade will be transformed into a large stage at the exterior for several concerts, including one by the Germans Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge, thanks to a vertical space that will allow partygoers to stroll from the 1930 room to the rooftop of Le Sucre and down to it.

A new location is being added to the schedule: the Azar Club, a vital scene for all Lyon clubbers, will prominently host figures from the Chinese scene like Hyph11E or Tzusing. Evenings (11 p.m. to midnight) will be hosted in the large hall of H7, still in the Confluence neighborhood of Lyon.

Mixing of cultures In addition to the great electro artists, the programmers wanted to introduce modern scenes from not only Central and Eastern Europe but also from Africa, Asia, and Central America. "We wanted to invite new cultures, and when Arty Farty, the organization in charge of running the Nuits Sonores, sat down to discuss this special 20th anniversary edition, they immediately rejected the notion of marking the occasion as a memorial.

According to Cassandre Gouillaud, communication officer for the Arty Farty network, "We preferred to retain the notion of collective celebration and to articulate this anniversary edition as a bridge between the past and the present that allows us to look at the memories and the links that we have woven over 20 years and also to look towards the future.". The return of free outdoor musical aperitifs in Lyon's squares is also commemorated in this new edition.

Young artists and important figures from the Lyon scene will perform in three open-to-all DJ sets that will follow one another. In the afternoons, as part of the "Mini sonore," young audiences and families are also invited to attend and dance.

The Heat Dining Hall will serve as the venue for these performances. They'll put forth the straightforward idea of making electronic music appealing to young listeners.

There are also "Extra!" events surrounding the festival, including cooking classes, seminars, podcasts, and a display of old festival photos. From May 17 to 21, 2023, The Nuits Sonores de Lyon will take place.
