Ricardo Villalobos,
Carl Craig and
Laurent Garnier are amongst the headliners for next month's Nuits Sonores festival.
Lyon is France's second largest urban area after Paris, and the line-up for Nuits Sonores is definitely representative of that fact. Not only do you have the aforementioned electronic heavyweights on the bill, but joining them behind the decks will be
Radio Slave,
Josh Wink,
Rone, Matmos,
Cut Chemist,
Agoria,
Dubfire,
Gilles Peterson,
Erol Alkan and
Miss Kittin &
The Hacker. On top of all this modern electronic business, you'll even get a rare opportunity to catch horror-soundtracker and Goblin member Claudio Simonetti strut his stuff live, plus no-wave doyenne Lydia Lunch will perform with both her own band and Teenage Jesus And The Jerks. Things kick off on Wednesday 20th May with a showcase of London-based acts in the evening (including sets from
Padded Cell,
Mowgli and Joe from
Hot Chip), before things move on to the spacious Marché Gare venue for the first of the three larger events, which culminate in a festival-closing set from
Dave Clarke. Whether he'll wear his trademark leather trousers for the occasion still remains to be seen.
