Nuits sonores is back in its historic venues and in the city

Edition after edition, Nuits sonores seeks to shake up its formats and reinvent the experiences of its main venues. This anniversary edition will be no exception, as the Days are reinstated on their favourite playground: the banks of the River Saône. To celebrate this return, the festival is pushing back the walls of one of its historical sites to enlarge the outdoor space and take over the walls of the Azar for the very first time, where a fourth stage will be located.

At nightfall, the doors of three factories open to offer everyone the possibility to choose their own night experience. In the 7th arrondissement, the Usines Fagor will host Nuits sonores for the sixth and last time: to close this chapter in the festival's history, they will be the setting for four celebratory gatherings, with a single central stage, a redesigned scenography, and a reduced capacity. In the meantime, H7 welcomes in its large hall (ex-Halle Girard) a stage dedicated to local collectives, the beating hearts of the Lyon scene, while Le Sucre offers intimate club formats from midnight to early morning.

This anniversary edition will also be a time of reunion with some of the festival's emblematic venues: the Auditorium de Lyon, which will once again become the setting for the special concert, or the SUBS, a major venue of the first decade of Nuits sonores, which will become the setting for the four-night residency of the American duo Darkside. But also (above all?), the festival is back in one of the places inseparable from its history, and the one from which everything started: the city of Lyon and the public space in which the Public domain events will take place.

All the main sites of Nuits sonores: 20 years are accessible to people with disabilities.

La Sucrière
In 2002, Arty Farty became the first event to use La Sucrière as a venue. Now one of the festival’s most powerful and symbolic sites, it will make the perfect setting for the daytime programme, which returns to the banks of the River Saône in 2023. For the first time, there will be a fourth stage (Azar Club) at this daytime venue, allowing for an even wider range of aesthetics and vibes.

Le Sucre
A rooftop venue perched atop La Sucrière that has become an essential pillar in Lyon’s electronic scene, Le Sucre will be both a daytime and night-time venue in 2023: it will host stages for the Days and Closing Day events (devoted to live music and showcases), as well as intimate club-style line ups from midnight until the early hours.

Les SUBS
Sublime, subtle, subversive, subjective, substantial, sub-cultural: Les Subs is many things, which is what makes it so unique. A maker of the festival’s history, the venue will open its doors once again to celebrate this anniversary. It will host an exceptional residence by the American duo Darkside, who will perform four shows in a row under its skylight-covered courtyard.
