14 hours of non-stop music with The Other Side @ Lyon 9e

For those who love long nights (very long), The Other Side offers an immersive sound experience in a secret location in the 9th arrondissement. The concept: 14 hours of non-stop music, starting gently with ambient and downtempo, then gradually transitioning to minimal, trance, and techno. With artists like Desirée Falessi and Thaïs, the evening promises an intense sensory journey. Definitely not a plan for an early night.

This is Disco @ Le Petit Salon

The eve of a public holiday calls for something special, so Le Petit Salon is rolling out the big guns with an All Stars night! In the main hall, Vyktor Nova spins disco, 80s, 90s, and dance tracks for a nostalgia trip that really hits the spot. Over in the smaller room, Terror Mike drops old school hip-hop and R’n’B for the lovers of deep beats. The result? A whole night, from 11:30 PM to 6:30 AM, where everyone finds their groove... and forgets all about the time to head home.
