The Philarmonie de Paris / Cité de la Musique in Paris presents The Velvet Underground – New York Extravaganza, an immersive and multimedia exhibition exploring the iconic band’s talent, aesthetic and inspirations. The show runs until 31 August and coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the eponymous album featuring the iconic Warhol banana on its cover. John Cale will be performing later this summer to honour this exhibition.
