Their compositions often feature driving, repetitive piano figures underpinned by intricate bass lines and dynamic drumming, creating a textured and atmospheric sonic landscape. Formed in Manchester in 2009, GoGo Penguin has released several critically acclaimed albums including “v2.0” and “A Humdrum Star”.

Jazz À La Villette is an annual jazz festival held in the Parc de la Villette, a large urban park in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Established in 1995, it is one of France’s largest jazz festivals, showcasing both established international artists and emerging talent across a range of jazz styles. The festival typically utilizes multiple stages within the park, including the Grande Scène and smaller venues offering more intimate performances. For the 2026 edition, organizers have indicated a continued focus on diversity within the jazz spectrum and cross-genre collaborations alongside traditional jazz forms.
