Nuits Sonores is entirely dedicated to electronic, independent, visual and digital cultures where music, design, graphic arts and architecture are intimately connected.

The festival transforms Lyon into a free-spirited city for five days and five nights, becoming a giant playground for those who love and share the spirit of top-quality music, curiosity and new encounters.

Since the festival’s beginnings in 2003, it has always encouraged the public to explore and discover the festival by foot, bike or using public transport. Over 250 locations in Lyon have been utilized, including art galleries, industrial wastelands, rooftops and even swimming pools.
