History
Le Placard started in 1998 in Paris, France. At that time finding venues for
alternative music was difficult, and police raids on unlicensed events were
frequent. So instead Erik Minkkinen organised a headphone party in his small
apartment, called 'placard' after the French word for 'cupboard'.
Since then this concept has grown to an international streaming festival,
with tens of cities providing listening rooms for local and remote
performances. Placard has formed part of the Mutek, Transmediale, Garage and
Pixelache festivals. The event in Paris has itself grown into an
institution, running for 72 hours straight where the audience sleep with
their headphones on, still listening.

BRING YOUR OWN HEADPHONES : )

All the best
