Live: Sébastien Tellier at Traction festival

There's a rare UK live appearance by Sébastien Tellier
this weekend, when he plays in London in one of the many events that are taking place around the country as part of the London 2012 Olympics.

 He plays the Traction Festival, an event in collaboration with Eurostar, that sees European acts take to the stage in the heart of London.

 The festival is being curated by DJ Gilles Peterson and according to the festival's website: "Curator Gilles Peterson has drawn inspiration from across the continent, choosing performers from every background for a series of unique cross-cultural collaborations."

 The event is being held at Granary Square, a new public space in the King's Cross area of London.

 The line up, as well as headliner Sébastien Tellier, includes Germany's Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble, Ghostpoet, Congolese born belgian hip hop act Baloji & l'Orchestre de la Katuba, Benny Sings from the Netherlands.

 Tellier is at the top of his game at the moment following the release of the My God is Blue, one of the strongest release so far this year, and a live performance will be quite a spectacle.
