Concerts and clubbing in Avignon

Over the coming months, the Avignon area will host some of the most well-known concerts in Avignon and a broad range of events in Avignon, with several major dates taking place nearby in Nîmes and Arles. Among the names worth watching are Lorde at Arènes de Nîmes, whose stripped-back pop and sharp songwriting suit the summer amphitheatre, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds at Arènes de Nîmes, bringing their intense rock and deep catalogue, and Bigflo & Oli at Arènes de Nîmes, with French rap built for a large live setting. For anyone looking at clubbing in Avignon in a broader sense, the programme also points to nights with strong rhythmic energy and hybrid sounds, such as Sofiane Saidi, Camélia Jordana and Aïta Mon Amour at Théâtre Antique in Arles. The season is rounded out by Fatoumata Diawara, Gaël Faye, and Christophe Maé, each adding a different live perspective to the region’s upcoming months.
