Boris live in Paris

Experience Boris live on October 20th

Japanese experimental rock band Boris will perform at Le Petit Bain in Paris, France on October 20, 2026. Boris is known for a highly diverse musical style encompassing elements of drone, doom metal, shoegaze, noise, and psychedelic rock. Often characterized by extreme dynamic shifts – moving between quiet, melodic passages and walls of heavily distorted sound – their discography is extensive and resists easy categorization. Formed in 1992, the group has consistently evolved its sound while maintaining a core aesthetic centered around volume and texture.

Le Petit Bain is a venue located on a barge permanently moored on the Seine river in Paris’s 13th arrondissement. Originally a guinguette (a traditional French open-air café or dance hall) dating back to the early 20th century, it was repurposed as a performance space in 2011. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere and focus on alternative and experimental music programming, frequently hosting artists across genres including electronic, jazz, and rock. Its unique setting contributes to its reputation as a significant cultural hub within the Parisian music scene. The space maintains an industrial aesthetic reflecting its history as a working barge.
