France for visitors

Rock and world music
France > Paris > Basics > Entertainment > Music and nightlife > Rock and world music

In the last few years Paris clubs and rock venues have begun to concentrate on international sounds, mostly Latin and African music, or French takes on those sounds, leaving the big rock bands to play the major arenas. Most of the venues listed here are primarily concert venues, though some double up as clubs on certain nights, or after hours. A few of them will have live music all week, but the majority host bands on just a couple of nights. Admission prices vary depending on who's playing.

See also under "Nightclubs", many of which also host gigs; "Major concert venues" for concerts that attract big international names in all fields of music; and "Mainly Jazz" for venues which programme jazz concerts but branch into other genres, such as world music and folk.
