Wednesday 12 June 2024, from 8 pm: opening act followed by LOUISE ATTAQUE
Did you know? Despite being relatively unknown at the time, French rock band Louise Attaque sold a record 3 million copies of their self-titled début album in 1997. They followed that phenomenal achievement with a further four albums and toured the world, as far afield as Asia and South America. The band – Gaëtan Roussel (guitar and vocals), Robin Feix (bass) and Arnaud Samuel (violon) – released their latest album, Planète Terre in April 2022. After a career spanning 27 years and another triumphant tour last year, Louise Attaque will be back on the road in 2024.
Thursday 13 June 2024, from 8 pm: opening act followed by BIGFLO & OLI
Les autres, c’est nous, the fourth album from French hip-hop duo Bigflo & Oli dropped in 2022, after a two-year creative journey taking them from Toulouse to Barcelona and Los Angeles. With over a billion views on YouTube, over a billion streams, over a million albums sold, three Victoires de la Musique trophies and 10 NRJ Music Awards, no one can contest Bigflo & Oli’s phenomenal success. In a few short years, they have become a landmark on the French music scene. After a sell-out tour of the country’s Zénith venues in 2023, the duo has announced a stadium tour for 2024.
Friday 14 June 2024, from 8 pm: opening act followed by OFENBACH
DJ duo Dorian and César, better known as Ofenbach, are now the most streamed French group/duo in the world. With two Diamond, 22 Platinum and 21 Gold certifications to their name, the Parisian electro duo are firmly on an upward trajectory and look set for a long and prosperous career. They are never happier than when DJ-ing on stage and touring the globe. In 2023, Ofenbach hit the road again with a brand-new set and exclusive performances across the world.
Saturday 15 June 2024, from 8 pm: opening act followed by SIMPLE MINDS
Simple Minds have enjoyed a remarkable career since the release of their début album Life in a Day in 1979. Their musical style has changed constantly over the years, but their catchy choruses and atmospheric sound soon earned them icon status in the 1980s. Along the way, they’ve had five chart-topping albums and a host of No. 1 singles on both sides of the Atlantic, sold over 60 million albums and filled stadiums around the world. Following their hugely successful “40 Years of Hits” tour in 2022, which was a sell-out at La Seine Musicale in Paris and in Lille, Bordeaux and Lyon, Simple Minds are back in France for a leg of their new “Global Tour 2024”, stopping off at the Zénith venues in Paris, Nantes, Clermont-Ferrand, Strasbourg and Dijon!
