Melting Vinyl: Bringing the cream of live music to Brighton.

Vive La France! 2012 presents…

Between the 26th – 28th January 2012, Melting Vinyl, in association with Bureau Export, welcomes to Brighton an impressive collection of French artists and labels for the fourth annual Vive la France! Festival. Making its home in the bohemian and cosmopolitan North Laines, four venues will provide outlets for an eclectic mix of explosive Electro-Pop, enchanting Chanson, ever popular performances from local French artists under the ‘French Connection’ banner as well as a hearty dose of French-infused World Music, Hip Hop, and Cinema; all guaranteed to impress both connoisseurs and newcomers to the scene.

We are also delighted announce that Vive La France! 2012 will be brought to you in association with 5 cultural taste-makers: The Line of Best Fit, French Radio London, Les Inrockuptibles, Plateau & Mange Tout.

If all that’s not enough to satisfy your hunger for all things French, we’ll also be serving up late night DJ sets each night at Plateau.

Francois & the Atlas Mountains follow up their earlier performance with a DJ set at Plateau, rounding off Thursday’s festivities with a selection of their favourite records, and taking in the best of Afrobeat and French Pop through the ages.
