It wasn't until 1987 that La Cigale was transformed back to use for live performances of all varieties, purchased by 2 nightclub owners that dreamed of returning La Cigale to its former glory. Their dreams came to fruition, and the venue has since welcomed Muse, Iggy Pop, Johnny Hallyday, Kylie Monogue, Radiohead, Norah Jones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin and more.
