We were super excited to be part of this annual event for the 4th year in a row. Pitchfork Music Festival Paris<\/strong> as Tom Krell from How To Dress Well<\/strong> would describe it : “is<\/em>\u00a0like a chinese buffet for everything worth listening to these days, like an all you can eat buffet for attractive indie music<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

He’s dead on point. Felt just about right. With pressure increasing prior to the festival. We wrote a whole post for the attendees<\/a> to check out the cool places of my neighborhood, which happens to be located right around the corner. \u00a0In the now famous Grande Halle de la Villette venue. A beautiful multi-event hall, that can hold quite a large number of concert-goers. It’s an ancient building, built originally to cater for farmers from all over France who wanted to slaughter, store and eventually sell on their live-stock. Brought from the countryside to the once outskirts of capital city.<\/p>\n[imagebox maintitle=”The Venue” subtitle=”” image=”https:\/\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/GrandeHalleByNIght-2014-10-29-19.10.12\u00a9-sophie-jarry.jpg” color=”white” space=”60″ link=”no link”]\n

Nowadays, the venue is an integrated part of a huge leisure park known simply by parisian as La Villette<\/em>… A great outdoor space with plenty of stuff to do, discover and play with.\u00a0With the parisian Zenith concert hall, the Trabendo club nearby, and as of next year, the opening of the brand new Paris Philharmonic HQ being built just next door. The whole area is quite the epicentre for all things culture and especially all things music. Cit\u00e9 de la musique is also a neighbour. So it’s really fitting to have the annual Pitchfork Music Festival Paris<\/strong> held there.<\/p>\n[separator type=”thick”]\n[title maintitle=”Ought” subtitle=”set rating : 8\/10″]\n
