For five days, Lyon transforms into a massive electronic playground, where every nook and cranny becomes its own stage! The old SNCF wasteland of Grandes Locos turns into a cathedral of techno, while La Sucrière, HEAT, the Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse, and Station Mue become the go-to spots for night owls ready to dance until dawn. In total, nearly 200 artists from around the globe, from local talents to international stars, will work tirelessly to make the walls (and our eardrums) vibrate.
