Musique Libre Festival
Within the scope of the 2024 edition of Le Paradigme Bitcoin, a mini music-festival will be held during the night of the 29th June.
This festival focuses on artists distributing their music under free licenses, such as those proposed by Creative Commons and further developed by the movement of Value 4 Value.
These artists can sometimes be referred to as the best kept secrets of the interweb. Some of them have toured the world while the masses were sleeping to Swift, others are infamous mega stars in niche underground networks of music aficionados.
A festive night with high voltage artists awaits you on the mythical dancefloor of the Bikini Test.
