Disco I'm coming out: an exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris in 2025

After hip-hop, electro and metal, the Philharmonie de Paris turns its attention to disco! This musical genre, which became a worldwide phenomenon in the 80s, is the new theme chosen by La Villette's cultural establishment. On view from February 14 to August 17, 2025, the " Disco I'm coming out " exhibition takes visitors back in time, following in the footsteps of this style born in the USA in the early 70s.

Firmly rooted in the history and culture of black America, disco music has left its mark on several generations thanks to cult tracks that have stood the test of time.

Through a series ofaudiovisual archives, photographs,instruments and costumes, the " Disco I'm coming out " exhibition aims to show the political and festive dimensions of this musical movement that has made millions of dancefloor fans dance, and continues to do so to this day. What's more, disco brought together different minorities and social classes on the dancefloor.

If disco music has enabled talented visionary artists such as Chic, singer Sylvester and producers Giorgio, Cerrone and Jacques Morali to make a name for themselves, it has also given pride of place to legendary voices such as Diana Ross, Donna Summer and Grace Jones.

Disco's aesthetic appeal to artists and designers will also be explored, as will its integration into pop culture, with the worldwide success of the film " Saturday Night Fever ".

The exhibition, accompanied by a brand-new remix of Dimitri from Paris, can be seen from February 14 to August 17, 2025 in the exhibition space of the Philharmonie de Paris. To mark this cultural event, a number of concerts have been announced for February 21 to 23, featuring Cerrone, Dabeull Live Band, a disco party and a waacking dance battle!
