Pop rock and variety concert halls Route de la soie

You can eat as much Sucre as you like! In fact, for 10 years now, our ears have been feasting on it and our feet have been shaking to the beat on the dancefloor set up on the roof of La Sucrière in Confluence. A place to exchange ideas and share the pleasure of a good sound. A meeting place for various artistic projects and events, concerts, festivals, club nights, aperitifs, brunches... A multi-faceted cultural venue that has become a temple to Lyon's nightlife. A rich and eclectic program for a "culture & club" address whose director is none other than Vincent Carry, organizer of Les Nuits Sonores. Le Sucre, at the cutting edge of trends.

A beautiful concert hall installed facing the sea on the territory of our favorite place: Sevkabelport. 2 floors and 2,000 m² with a capacity of 2,500 people, hosting world-class headliners, local bands and music festivals all year round. Don't be late for your concert in order to catch some delicious Vietnamese Bánh bao (stuffed bread) at the bar. We also advise you to allow at least one hour to discover Sevkabelport (before or after the event) in order to enjoy the magic of the place.

Near the Docks of La Joliette, this former wheat silo dates from 1927. Rehabilitated in 2011, it is now a performance hall dedicated to artistic programming: concerts, dance, theater, comedy... Labeled as a "20th century heritage site", its development is part of the Euroméditerranée project. A masterpiece of acoustics, visibility and comfort, meticulously studied. Discover this Italian-style theater, a room divided into three balconies with a modularity in "all seated" and "standing" version. This is where the great artists perform in Marseille.

It is one of the very few venues to appear in our guide this season. Not that it hosts more shows than the others, but it is part of Lyon's heritage. What an incredible history this hall has, a marvel of metal architecture created by the Eiffel workshops and imagined by Tony Garnier! Formerly a cattle market, the hall has become a veritable cathedral of iron and glass built on a stone base. In "normal" times, the hall seats 5,000 and welcomes the biggest stars.

Exodus is in fact a religious organisation (Action Africa Asia) which organises a variety of events (exhibitions, meetings, lectures) including impressive enough concerts for those who know each other there a little. Star in their countries, the humbly artists come to present their musical or song recitals in the small 80 seats near the cours Julien. It is the kingdom of the world music in Marseille, constantly led by a dynamic team and engaged in the defence of the minority cultures.

Concert hall located in an old printing room with an area of more than 5 000 m ² and can hold up to 5 000 people. The club includes two concert halls, a restaurant, bars and appendices.

This mythical underground concert hall of the 1990s, which is located at Pushkinskaya 10 (Artistic Centre/Museum of Non-Conformist Art) still welcomes the supporters of the alternative rock scene, but also all the young people who follow their example. The evenings without concerts are less fun but we always come across local regulars or artists and musicians who still live in the squat of Pushkinskaya 10. On concert evenings, don't hesitate to arrive an hour early.

The Makeda is a popular place for a drink and good music right next to La Plaine. A concert hall and dancefloor where all forms of artistic expression find their place. The configuration and capacity of just under 270 spectators have also contributed to the venue's reputation. Since 2019, the Makeda has offered a varied program of emerging and established urban music. It is also a venue for exhibitions and performances. For the program, visit the website!

Leaning against the National Gallery, at the corner of Republic Square and Abovian Street, where it has its entrance, like many theatres in the capital, it is named after the great composer of the last century Arno Babadjanian, but presents concerts of lighter music, shows of traditional or folk music and dances from Armenia or other countries, as well as variety shows by local or former USSR singers.

Opened in 2014 by Karim Kayrouz in the heart of the city. He wanted to create a warm and friendly meeting space where everyone finds themselves at home. The decoration was chosen with colourful sofas and soft lights for the lounge. Here you can discover local artists with concerts, theatre and also exhibitions, yoga sessions… A program to follow on the Facebook page. A room is also available at night or in the month.

Kadikoy's most popular bar offers a rock atmosphere but not too much either. The dresscode? Sneakers, long hair, tattoos and a colourful plaid shirt attached to the hips. Free entrance to the bar. To access the concert area, you must buy tickets. If you don't want to stay up all evening, here's a tip: come an hour before the concert and find a table near the stage. The two spaces are rarely isolated from each other because there are always crowds, every day of the week.
