Day 1. Friday night, it’s midnight and the orga is already ringing the festival bell. Before Round 2 on Saturday evening, there are often two clans: those who want to attack the second day fresh as a daisy, rest, eat well, etc., and those who prefer not to give up the race and just get on with it. If you’re one of the latter, the Lyon Secret editorial team has thought of you. Sent on site to test the first edition of the Hypnotize festival, we’ve come up with our post-festival recommendations and favorite addresses for continuing the evening after this hypnotic experience (before the festivities start up again)! You and your mates are all fired up and want to keep the fun going until dawn? Don’t worry, we’ve got the perfect places to keep the party going.
🔥ONLY A FEW DAYS TO GO UNTIL THE FESTIVAL: LAST CHANCE TO GET YOUR TICKETS!🔥1. After the Hypnotize festival: Le Sucre
For over ten years, Le Sucre has been spicing up Lyon nights. Quickly becoming one of the city’s must-see venues, this club located in the heart of Confluence, on the banks of the Rhône and atop the Sucrerie, is the place par excellence to spend the night in front of the best artists on today’s music scene. It’s been home to a host of stars, from Kink to Laurent Garnier, Daniel Avery and many other talents from the Nuits Sonores program. This Friday, June 13, 2025, François X will honor us with his all-night-long presence behind the decks at Le Sucre in a mini club format from 11pm to 5am (perfect for killing two birds with one stone after the first Hypnotize evening! More info on ticketing here.
2. Le Petit Salon:
A cultural space and nightlife venue nestled in Lyon’s 7th arrondissement. Don’t be fooled by appearances: in reality, Le Petit Salon is huge. Comprising two halls, it welcomes several thousand night owls every week. Concerts featuring electronic music, rap or even 80s music, punctuate this establishment, which has become a rallying point for Lyon’s night owls. Brodinski and Vladimir Cauchemar have all performed here. This Friday 13th, from 11.45pm to 6.30am, it’s Oden & Fatzo ‘s turn to electrify the place, followed by AMS. Two rooms, two atmospheres: Nuage Rose will have you soaring all night long in the second room. More info and ticket link here.
3. Le Groom: the French touch beyond the Hypnotize festival
If you’d like to celebrate the French Touch after paying tribute to BOOBA, JOK’AIR, LETO, MERYL and other nuggets from the Hypnotize festival line-up, you can continue to celebrate music the blue, white and red way with local talent. On the menu this Friday, June 13: NHYX aka la Déesse de la Nuit (Goddess of the Night ) and her alternative electronic music enhanced by deliciously retro vocals and samples, transporting us into a powerful melodic universe blending Indie-House and Deep-Tech, Antoine Chambe and Howjo.
As you can see, there’s plenty to choose from to extend evening 1 of the Hypnotize festival. But don’t miss out on Day 2. DADJU, KALASH, VALD… You could be in for a treat!
