Today sees the start of the Les Inrocks Festival in Paris, an event run in conjunction with France's most switched-on cultural magazine.
While music is front and centre of the four-day event, there are discussions, meetings, food and film screenings all being held at the Gaîté Lyrique.
Tonight sees a performance by Miossec, whose album Les rescapés was released in September.
Also playing tonight are Manchester's W H Lung and Terrenoire, who have just released their debut EP.
Tomorrow has John Grant, who released his Love is magic album earlier this year, along with Queen Zee from Liverpool, Touts from Derry and Fontaines D.C. from Dublin.
On Friday it's the event hosts three developing French acts, featuring Myth Syzer whose Bisous debut was released in April. Also on the bill are Lolo Zouaï and Johan Papaconstantino.
The final night features a more hip hop and rap orientated bill, with Loud, Krisy, Octavian and Duckwrth.
Add to these some showcase sets by Zed Yun Pavarotti, Mauvais Oeil and Oh Mu.
As you might expect from Les Inrocks, it's a well curated line-up. A mix of developing acts and more widely-known cult acts, French and international and cross-genres, but all with the kind of artistic credibility that attracted the attention of from France's most respected music mag and multimedia platform.
