Nuits sonores festival is a Lyon-based cultural, artistic and urban laboratory founded in 2003, by the association loi 1901 Arty Farty. It’s a cross-generational, unifying and accessible project.

For 20 years now, the festival has been taking place all over the city, transforming Lyon into an ephemeral space for celebration and conviviality. As France’s leading electronic and independent music festival, Nuits sonores offers a cutting-edge, eclectic and inclusive programme, attracting audiences from all over France, Europe and the rest of the world.

Alongside the festival is the Nuits sonores Lab forum, powered by European Lab, offering debates, conferences and training sessions on culture, creation and contemporary issues.
