Le Trabendo, Concert hall in Parc de la Villette, Paris, France.
Le Trabendo is a concert hall located within Parc de la Villette, housed in a distinctive red building complex with a main room holding around 700 people. The space is designed with careful attention to sound quality and includes a bar where visitors can buy drinks and food.
The space opened in 1993 under the name Hot Brass and was renamed Le Trabendo in 2000 after extensive renovations. This change marked a shift in the venue's direction toward a broader range of musical programming.
The venue attracts musicians working in jazz, rock, and electronic styles, drawing audiences from both the local area and around the world. It has become a gathering place for people interested in experimental and alternative sounds.
Doors typically open around one hour before performances begin, giving visitors time to arrive and settle in. It helps to come early so you can visit the bar and get comfortable before the show starts.
The name comes from an album by the French band Negresses Vertes, reflecting the venue's deep roots in alternative music culture. This connection gives the space a meaningful link to an important moment in French music history.
