Based in Toulouse, Southern France, Les Siestes Electroniques is a summer meeting point for emerging artists from the field of music & digital culture. Its ambitious motley line-up mainly focuses on electronic musicians and aims at a professional audience as well as the general public. The fact that its open air concerts are free of charge makes Les Siestes Electroniques a rare and precious occurance within the landscapes of European festivals. Les Siestes offers an opportunity to experience the best of contemporary music through concerts, club nights, workshops and exhibitions.

And why should you come to Les Siestes Electroniques?
To enjoy Southern France's “art de vivre” :)
If you can’t stand festivals where three bands are playing at the same time anymore, if you’re tired of being stuck among 10 000 people to listen to music and if you‘re sick with poor venues and flat beer, then Les Siestes Electroniques is for you!

"There’s you, there’s baguettes, and there’s dancing: it’s Les Siestes Électroniques (which means "the electronic nap"), plugging in, turning on, and rocking out. Our poor translation skills aside, the lineup’s far from a snoozer."
Pitchfork.

“Anyone who's ever been to Montreal's Piknic Électronik or Cologne's PollerWiesen knows that electronic music is best experienced outdoors and in daylight. Toulouse's peerless Les Siestes Électroniques perfects the formula with evening concerts performed before a laidback audience sprawled on a spongy lawn. Pass the baguette and the pinot blanc!”
Earplug.

“Small yet perfectly formed, Les Siestes Electroniques (or, The Electronic Nap for those of you dozing in French class) is the self-proclaimed champion of the scaled-down festival experience.”
