Le Placard Headphone Festival, Last_Generale, Sèvres

Le Placard Headphone Festival

August 26st Last_Generale, Sèvres, France – the return of the 72 hour Paris open slot. It will also be the last event in La Generale en Manufacture. Le Placard started in 1998 in Paris, France. At that time finding venues for alternative music was difficult, and police raids on unlicensed events were frequent. So instead Erik Minkkinen organised a headphone party in his small apartment, called ‘placard’ after the French word for ‘cupboard’.

Since then this concept has grown to an international streaming festival, with tens of cities providing listening rooms for local and remote performances. Placard has formed part of the Mutek, Transmediale, Garage and Pixelache festivals. The event in Paris has itself grown into an institution, running for 72 hours straight where the audience sleep with their headphones on, still listening.
