Lille Culture
Lille has always been a city of music and dance lovers. Rock music, jazz and new music have their temple at the Aéronef, 168 Centre Euralille (tel: (03) 2838 5050; www.aeronef-spectacles.com) and its distribution circuit, made up of about 30 cafes that organise concerts. The biggest concerts are held at the Zénith, 1 boulevard des Cités Unies (tel: (03) 2014 1516; www.lillegp.com) and the Sébastopol Theatre, place Sébastopol (tel: (03) 2054 4450; www.theatre-sebastopol.fr), which has a programme on almost every day and is a must for operetta lovers in particular.
Two smaller theatres, Le Prato, 6 allée de la Filature (tel: (03) 2052 7124; www.leprato.fr) and Le Biplan, 19 rue Colbert (tel: (03) 2012 9111; www.lebiplan.org) are also worth checking out for more alternative stuff.
