Located in the vibrant La Pallice district of La Rochelle, La Sirène is a cutting-edge live music and cultural venue on France’s Atlantic coast. Since opening in 2011, it has become a beacon for musiques actuelles – rock, jazz, hip-hop, electronic, and experimental sound – and one of the most respected concert venues in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Set inside a renovated early-20th-century warehouse designed by architect Patrick Bouchain, La Sirène offers a stunning industrial-chic setting with state-of-the-art acoustics. The venue combines artistic innovation, accessibility, and community engagement, welcoming thousands of concert-goers each year to its three unique stages: a 1,200-capacity main hall, a 450-seat club stage, and a rooftop terrace for summer shows.

A Premier Live Music Hub on France’s Atlantic Coast

La Sirène’s eclectic programming celebrates diversity and creativity. It hosts over 70 concerts annually, featuring both emerging local artists and world-renowned acts across every style – from alternative rock and electronic dance music to soul, reggae, and hip-hop.

Beyond performances, La Sirène supports artist residencies, rehearsal studios, and music education programs, making it a cornerstone of La Rochelle’s cultural identity. As a certified SMAC (Salle de Musiques Actuelles), the venue plays a key role in developing and promoting live music throughout western France.
