Want to fill up on musical discoveries? From small indie bands to international pop stars, Paris is always buzzing with the rhythms of today's and tomorrow's artists, featuring endless concert venues. This month, we've put together an eclectic lineup just for you, so come along!


Ora the Molecule at La Boule Noire on May 11

We’re kicking off with 100% good vibes from the Norwegian artist Mora Schjelderup, known on stage as Ora the Molecule. Blending electro-pop and disco, she’s going to make us dance all night long on May 11 at La Boule Noire. It’s the perfect chance to hear her latest tracks live from her new album, Dance Therapy, which was released just last March. This project is inspired by all her experiences as a DJ, beautifully merging italo-disco beats with 70s club sounds.

Join us on May 14 at Badaboum to vibe with these cool sisters!

Esperanza Spalding at Bataclan on May 16 

Trained in the pure tradition of North American jazz, Esperanza Spalding is a multi-talented artist. Singer, composer, organist, multi-instrumentalist, and even actress and academic, she was the first jazz artist to win the Grammy Award for “Best New Artist” in 2011. Today, she continues to delight our ears with her unique style, a sweet blend of improvisation, singing, instrumentation, poetry, dance, and storytelling… A must-see at Bataclan this May 16!

Miel de Montagne at the Olympia on May 16 

After two sold-out shows at Trianon, a tour across France, and an international tour from L.A. to New York, passing through Berlin, London, and Montreal, the craziest of the French artists, Miel de Montagne, is finally (well, almost) settling down and returning with a brand-new, wild show. His big comeback in Paris is a moment to remember (mark your calendars for May 16), and at the Olympia no less! What's on the menu? Unforgettable electronic pop, completely liberated and breaking boundaries, featuring hits like “Pourquoi pas” and “Permis b bébé”.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre at La Cigale on May 20

Join the circle with Anton Newcombe, the brain and heart of a band that has captured the soul of true rock enthusiasts. In a sanitized industry, The Brian Jonestown Massacre has managed to take us on a journey to a bygone era, blending psychedelic rock, country-blues, and noise-pop sounds. The good news? The band will be in the capital on May 20 at La Cigale. A date that promises to be intimate, undeniably rock, and absolutely magical.

Myke Towers at Zénith on May 25

Get ready to dance with this trap and reggaeton star straight from Latin America! Myke Towers, the Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter – who we first heard in France on a track with our queen Aya Nakamura, “T'as peur” – is making a stop in Paris on May 25 at the Zénith. It's a date that will definitely turn up the heat, where we’ll surely be grooving to “Degenere”, the artist's hit featuring Benny Blanco.
