Hardly had the Grand Palais reopened than it drew new inspiration from electric ideas. What better example than the free concert organised by Radio France and Le Mouv', on Saturday 22 October, from 10.00 p.m. till dawn? For one night, an audience of five thousand vibrated to the sound of heady electric rock from the leading groups of the moment, under the cupola of the Nave resplendent in appropriately coloured lights.

The programme alternated live rock and deejay sets.

The bands were: The Servant, The Film, The noisettes, Vitalic, Nathan Fake, Revl9n.

A monument of stone, glass and metal, the Grand Palais blends into the urban landscape. However, on closer inspection, it is in fact bursting with colour, and one of the challenges of the restoration work currently underway is to restore all its chromatic ranges.
