Late nights

A vibrant and festive nightlife

Amateurs of festive atmospheres can dance until dawn in Lausanne and are spoilt for choice by the abundance of bars, nightclubs, lounges, concert halls and other music venues.

Every dedicated clubber is familiar with the MAD CLUB, located in the avant-garde Flon district. This warehouse, decorated with a giant pink condom, has dominated Lausanne nightlife since the 1980s. A veritable institution that is regularly ranked amongst the 100 best clubs in the world, the Mad plays host to the greatest electro DJs of the moment.

A stone’s throw from the Flon, Les Docks is one of Lausanne’s most popular concert venues. This huge but intimate hall features all contemporary music genres, including rock, hip-hop, funk and folk, as well as exhibitions.
