Pop rock and variety concert halls Nord-Pas-de-Calais

The Splendid is first and foremost an atmosphere. Formerly a neighbourhood cinema transformed into a theatre, the Splendid has kept an intimate atmosphere even though it can accommodate up to 900 people. Every year, more than 100 concerts attract curious people from all walks of life. Here no borders, we love rock as much as French song or electro, music as much as comedy shows. An eclectic program that has brought in some of the biggest names in the show, including Air and Christine and the Queens, it's not nothing! After the emotions of the show, go to the bar of the Splendid for a small ultra friendly debrief. An essential address.

Thanks to the many celebrities from the alternative scene who take to the stage every year, l'Aéronef plays in the big league. Hip-hop, electro, reggae, rock... After all, this lively venue is no stranger to live music fans in the surrounding area!

What's more, its programming even caters for the little ones: in addition to its themed evenings, festivals and DJ sets, it offers snack-concerts perfect for introducing children to different styles of music!

Located just a few metres from the market in Wazemmes, Le Biplane is one of the privileged places of the artists and amateurs of conviviality in the centre of Lille. It is a double room (theatre and concert) Lille which has been managed since 1998 by the Night Theft association. In total, there are no fewer than 60 volunteers each day to ensure the operation of the establishment, its programming, the reception of the public and also artists. Artists can be seen from all walks of life. Concerts take place in a small vaulted cellar, for an intimate moment with the artists and the public. A time out of time.

A concert hall equivalent to the huge bunker of Bercy, but in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Yet we do not think enough about it, when more and more major events are taking place there. So think: 14 000 places! It doesn't take any more to see large names of international scenes make a small hook by our region. Muse or Depeche Mode made the move. Here the sound is warm and does not stop in all corners of the room, as in Paris… In spite of the size of the Arena, there is a certain closeness to the artist. Unfortunately, the imminent delivery of the Grand Stadium could bring big sizes to prefer this new high place of the department for ever more shows. Shame.

The Eurorégional Centre for Urban Cultures, now renamed FLOW, is a unique place whose missions revolve around five strengths. First, support and accompaniment to artists through workshops, personalized advice and residences. In FLOW, artists are given the keys to progress and enrich their practices. But FLOW is not just about professionals. It offers amateurs and semi-professionals a wide range of awareness, initiation and training projects. Yes, here being amateur does not mean being dilettante! Finally, the Centre is at the heart of a network of several structures, all of which are committed to putting urban cultures, mainly hip hop, on the front of the stage. Through strong times throughout the year, FLOW gives the public the best of contemporary creation. The scenic feats of hip-hop dancers and dance break are breathtaking and restore this culture of nobility. This is also what the current Resource Centre also works for. History, sociological studies, archives… urban cultures are studied and analyzed in the same way as all other forms of art. Proof, if one was needed, that urban cultures deserve public attention!

This concert hall places culture and art in honour. Here for all tastes: concerts: French rock or song, theatre for big or small, but also exhibitions and cultural actions of all kinds.

It is under the roof of a former powder keg of the th century that the association Arts Stage Rocks has settled. The idea is: offer eclectic music programming at local, national and international levels and create new talent. A promise of musical discovery, new sounds, new musical aesthetics in a most convivial and atypical room. In addition to organised concerts, several cultural activities are also carried out by the association throughout the year.

Since its reopening celebrated in 2019, the Grand Mix continues to attract thousands of curious and music lovers! It must be said that there is plenty to celebrate. The "bunker" has become an open and bright place with lots of new spaces, including the Club, a 300-seat room designed to host emerging groups. It will even be possible to eat there. The goal of this unique venue is to unearth new talent and program the best of today's music, while allowing a real encounter between the artists and the public.

Over the years, La Cave aux Poètes has become an essential address for all lovers of contemporary music. At the origin of the creation of this atypical concert hall, we find the collective L'Eclipse, gathering artists of all disciplines. In 1994, the collective invested a cellar, which was used in the 1970s as a place to read... poetry! The ambition of the collective is to create unique events accessible to all around an eclectic program, by privileging regional artists as much as possible.

A superb room in the region, able to compete with a Paris Bercy. 13 000 fans can come and applaud their idols in ideal conditions. The sound is warm and does not stop at all corners of this infrastructure. Many events animate the town of Douai: concerts, fairs, exhibitions, exhibitions, sporting events. Finally, some great names that took place at the Gayant Expo: Marilyn Manson, Indochina, Mylène Farmer, etc.
