Le Poste à Galène

Marseille


Hidden away amongst the garages and graffiti-scrawled walls of a rather unassuming side street, Le Poste à Galène is a rough-and-ready 300-seat venue where alternative rock reigns supreme. It also hosts live reggae, soul, hip-hop and electro and has themed DJ nights each week.
