LE CABARET ALÉATOIRE
This "industrial cathedral" is one of the key venues on the Marseilles scene. Founded in 2002, the Cabaret Aléatoire is a concert hall and club located in the heart of the Friche de la Belle de Mai, a former tobacco factory now transformed into a cultural hub with over 70 structures bringing together artists and producers. The Cabaret, well known to Marseillais, can accommodate over 100 people depending on the event, and is aimed at a public eager to make sonic discoveries ranging from electro to hip-hop, rock, soul, funk... Since 2014, the stage has been labeled SMAC and is developing a project particularly focused on "new emerging urban cultures". In summer, some of the programming takes place on the roof of the wasteland. Also noteworthy is the quality of the sound system overhauled in 2012, arguably the best in the city. Numerous artists and groups have played on this stage: Hindi Zahra, Soom T, Justice, Major Lazer, Wu Tang Clan, Woodkid, Pete Doherty, Aloe Blacc, Laurent Garnier, M83, Kendrick Lamar, Tricky, Orelsan, 1995, Joey Starr, Ten Years After, Mudhoney, Girls, Black Lips, etc. We can't mention them all but you can go there with your ears wide open. The only regret is that the venue is so inaccessible in the evening and at night. The best solution is to walk, as it's not that far from the Longchamp district...
