For the last seven years, the Villette Sonique festival has brought the Parc de la Villette to life every spring, and since the renovations of the Grande Halle, it's become an unmissable rock and electro event for music-mad Parisians. The line-up has expanded year on year, and 2013's is better than ever: a head-turning selection of rock that includes the Melvins, The Flaming Lips, Neurosis and the Swans. For electro, the excellent South American label Comeme gets a special mention with its own 'Comeme Night'. The biggest advantage of the festival are the numerous free open air gigs in the park (this year, don't miss David Fenech or Mykki Blanco). Doubtless, thousands of Parisians will once again descend on Villette for five days of underground bands, visiting the weekend-long Village Label artists' market or taking part in masterclasses.For the full programme, click here.
