After a warm-up on June 7 and 8 with The Smiles, the Days Off Festival returns from July 2 to 13, 2022, for its 12thedition. With a program of the most remarkable!
2 July: an exceptional opening
Jarvis Cocker, the former singer of Pulp, opens the ball and introduces Tip-Top, a character imagined by director Wes Anderson for his film The French Dispatch. An opportunity for the English musician to pay tribute to the French pop of the 1960s from which he often drew his inspiration. On the program, classy reinterpretations of titles interpreted by Françoise Hardy, Serge Gainsbourg, Christophe or Brigitte Bardot. And in the first part, it is none other than the famous Lisa Hannigan who returns for her third concert at Days Off 2022. She will perform songs that are both simple and sophisticated, which she reworked and rearranged in 2019 for a daring live record.
July 3: Instrumental Chamber Music Ambience
On the second day, it's Wooden Elephant 's turn to take the stage to play Radiohead (Kid A). Led by violist Ian Anderson (who has previously collaborated with Radiohead), the ensemble competes in imagination to recreate these complex songs, from double bass, cello, viola and violins as well as some homemade crafts. Then Echo Collective will take over by playing Jóhann Jóhannsson's 12 Conversations with Thilo Heinzmann. We will discover the other facet of the talent of this grandiloquent artist. A facet closer to baroque music than to his previous works, where often protruded some electronic arrangements, here absent. It is therefore the ensemble Echo Collective that will honor this score on the stage of Days Off 2022.
July 4: The melody in the spotlight
July 5: The colors of pop
July 6: The stage dedicated to hip-hop
On the occasion of the Hip-Hop 360 exhibition, an evening for head and legs on the roof of the Philharmonie, with an eclectic program: two dj-sets and a concert where rising stars (DJ Andy 4000 and Parisian rapper EDGE) and a legend of the French hip-hop scene (Solo) will meet.
July 6-7: sounds and gestures
In an original creation for Days Off, pianist Koki Nakano nimbly unfolds the melodies of his new album, Oceanic Feeling.His new pieces will be accompanied by the elegant gestures of dancer and choreographer Marion Motin, invited to share the stage with him. In parallel with Koki Nakano's concert on July 7, the rapper Hexagone will hold an unprecedented concert echoing the Hip-Hop 360 exhibition . He will be supported by Bejamin Epps, Chilla, Bamao Yendé & Friends, Vicky R, Sheldon… All rising figures of the new francophone hip-pop guard!
July 8: Pop and literature
London-based quartet Goat Girl will present their second album On All Fours , part of the post-punk movement, as the opening for this seventh day of the Days Off 2022 festival. Enough to warm up the stage before the arrival of Kae Tempest, who will plunge us into the world at once inhabited, poetic, political and fiercely contemporary of her spoken word, through the presentation of her highly anticipated fourth album The Line Is a Curve.
July 9: Participation and immersion
Camille invites you to the Philharmonie de Paris to live a collective vibratory experience through a joyful and inspiring moment of sharing. Indeed, for this eighth day of Days Off 2022, come and discover the LALÀLIVE, a participatory performance for ALL (children from 8 years minimum). Upon arrival, you will be guided by Camille and her choristers. Depending on your voice, you will be advised to set up a unique choir. In parallel, an evening under the sign of the most inventive electronics. Pop formats for Léonie Pernet's ample songs and more abstract flights for Lucie Antunes' compositions, highlighted by the Scale Collective for an immersive and spectacular show.
July 10: France and America
The French author and composer Laura Cahen presents on stage Une Fille, second album where she significantly renews her musical universe through pieces that are modern and personal. It will warm up the audience who will then warmly welcome the great American composer and lyricist Andrew Bird. He will be accompanied by the Orchestre national d'Île-de-France for songs rearranged by Gabriel Kahane.
13 July: an elegant closing
And finally, it is the new star of British soul, Celeste, who will present on stage the titles of his first album Not Your Muse. Like Amy Winehouse or Adele, the young singer will offer a collection of sumptuous songs, marked by the classicism of a refined and personal writing accompanied by ample arrangements and a flexible voice.
