VINCENT CARRY
Nuits Sonores electronic music festival
A taste for change and discovery! In 2007, Lyon will quicken the pace and assert its place on the world map of creativity and digital industries. The city has exceptional know-how in event organization, and in taking art out into the streets. From electronic cultures to every sphere of contemporary creation, Lyon ranks among the best in Europe. As a candidate for "European Capital of Culture" in 2013, Lyon will be able to further develop its taste for change and discovery. For the past five years, the team at Nuits Sonores has stood by countless artists and creative talents in the city to defend an unbridled effervescence.
