It might not quite have the international clout of London or Berlin, but Paris is no musical slouch: from the legendary jazz clubs to the thriving independent and underground music scenes, plus some seriously sharp record stores, there’s everything here for the connoisseur...
When? May 4-17 2015.
What? Hip-hop festival with a lively, mixed programme of events.
Where? The Grande Halle de la Villette.
Hip-hop is at the centre of the second edition of sparky young Villette Street Festival at the Grande Halle de la Villette. The hall will host gigs, dance-offs, art exhibitions, street parties, food trucks, shopping stalls and more. It's not exactly a spontaneous street dance-off, but that doesn't detract from the sheer fun and variety of the programme.
