Outstanding events
Every year, La Cité offers an impressive range of outstanding global events. Each one is the result of the joint work produced by La Cité and one of the other cultural organisations based in Nantes. For example, La Cité has developed collaborative projects with Le Lieu Unique, Nantes national stage and Le Grand T, a local theatre. This joint work based on shared ambitions is a central element in staging successful events where the audience can enjoy world-class artists at a reasonable cost.
Since 2012, La Cité has welcomed iconic artists such as:
- Kraftwerk, the mythical German band
- À Ô Làng Phô, an amazing circus from Vietnam
- Philip Glass, famous American musician and composer
- The incredible Montreal-based Cirque Éloize
- Steve Reich, the American musician and composer who pioneered minimal music
- A vibrant homage to David Lynch’s movie music, presented by David Coulter
- Estonian Arvo Pärt, one of the world’s most performed living composers
- Yann Tiersen, an outstanding, timeless and genre-busting musician
