Nuits sonores Lab 2026
RECAP

Nuits Sonores Lab, the festival’s discourse programme, curated by European Lab, presented its 2026 edition under the theme In(ter)dependencies from 13 to 17 May.

More than 80 French, European and international speakers came together to discuss the need to strengthen the independence of culture, media and technology, to better understand and counter systems of predation, and to reinforce our social ties and collective resilience.

The programme unfolded across all festival venues: Hôtel71, HEAT, Les Grandes Locos and La Sucrière, and featured, for the first time, a dedicated radio stage integrated into the Nights programme.
