AFFECTION PLACE are an alternative rock group based in Lyon, France, born out of the international New-Wave / Post-Punk music scene of the 80?s. The original formation played from 1979 to 1981 performing many concerts in France and Switzerland and touring with groups such as Magazine, the Cramps, A Certain Ratio, Marquis de Sade and many more.

In 2019 the group reformed and released a compilation of unreleased tracks dating from the 80?s on Caméléon Records. A major exhibition in Lyon ?Lyon Capitale du Rock 1978-1983? at the Municipal Library of Lyon highlighted Affection Place as a force majeur of the Lyon music scene of the early 80?s.
