This evening aims to "send a message of solidarity to the performing arts" explains Romain Vivien, President of the Victoires de la musique. This is why Jean-Louis Aubert is appointed Honorary President. A figure symbolizing "live and generosity", a thumb of the nose to this year 2020 which was "a difficult year for the music industry". The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the cancellation of many concerts. This is why the stage category and the live performance category have been deleted. To compensate for these changes, the category revelation of the year is no longer mixed but separated into male and female. Alexandra Redde-Amiel, Director of Variety and Entertainment France Télévisions, lists three key words of this ceremony: "adaptation, reaction, creation". She stresses the importance of "not giving up" despite the current situation and confides that it is essential to "support musical development as well as new talents". Alexandra Redde-Amiel erects 2021 as "a symbol of hope". This is also highlighted by Didier Varrod, Music Director of Radio France's antennas. "For Radio France this edition carries a symbolism," he declares. "Party rather than silence!". In addition, he salutes the determination of artists who are far from having given up.
