10. - 12. November 2011 Salle Metropole, Lausanne, Switzerland 2'000 per day An early-winter, urban, multicultural festival. The main concerts are held at the «Métropole» concert hall, formerly an old-time music-theatre, situated right in the centre of Lausanne. The splendour of the «Métropole» concert hall is the perfect backdrop for the audacious fusion of turn of the century architecture with early millennium music. Moreover, the Metropop Festival distinguishes itself from the usual middle of the road festivals in that, although its main aim is to promote all forms of music, it will also be a launching pad for a variety of other forms of artistic and cultural activities. Every evening, once the concerts are over, spectators and musicians will be able to mingle together and continue to enjoy the festival free of charge in the neighbouring clubs, cinemas and bars.
