What is the “Musiciens du métro” label?
Created in 1997, the Metro Musician label has gradually turned the RATP station network into an important concert venue. Many well-known artists have made their debut there, such as Keziah Jones, Irma, William Baldé, Zaz, EMJI (winner of “Nouvelle Star” 2015), Clément Verzi (“The Voice” finalist in 2016), Claudio Capéo and Arcadian.
As part of RATP’s cultural mission, the Musiciens du Métro label meets several objectives:
- provide passengers with quality musical entertainment in RATP stations to make their journeys more enjoyable;
- promote young talents;
- allow them to perform in metro stations where millions of people pass through every day, while remaining respectful of passengers;
- provide them with a platform, by allowing them to participate in RATP partner festivals and events (Solidays, Art’Rock, Festival Chorus, and more).
