The Fnac Live Festival has just unveiled its program for the new 2017 edition. From Thursday 6 to Saturday 8 July, from 5 pm to midnight, the Parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville and the Scène du Salon will welcome a fine selection of artists. On the bill, about thirty concerts including Calypso Rose, Benjamin Biolay, Fishbach, Cassius and The Blaze…
A crazy program
These free concerts will also honor "discovered" labels that will offer warm-ups every early evening: Microqlima, Vietnam Records and Beggars.
The opening night is headlined by two of the winners of the 2017 Victoires de la Musique. Benjamin Biolay will present his new album Volver; and Calpyso Rose, the 76-year-old Trinidadian singer who ignited the Victoires, will play the tracks from her latest album Far From Home.
On the Salon Stage, Julien Clerc will offer an intimate piano-voice concert: to celebrate his 50 years of career he offers himself this year a tour and a new album.
For this 7thedition of the Fnac Live Festival, the French electro-pop scene will be in the spotlight, mixing beautiful discoveries and confirmed talents. We no longer present Fishbach who -with his sublime androgynous voice and his dark and powerful chords has naturally imposed himself as the revelation of 2016. The Pirouettes has been a hit since the release of the title L'escalier and their album Carrément downright with acidulous pop sounds: the duo will invite us into their offbeat universe associating nostalgia and contemplation of the 2.0 era.
It is impossible to miss Juliette Armanet, worthy heiress of Véronique Samson, with L'amour en solitaire and her cover of I feel it coming by The Weeknd. Julien Doré will play his sensual and poetic pop including his latest title to the clip barré Coco câline.
Come dance in front of Cassius -and his excellent Go up (feat. Cat Power & Pharrell Williams) and Polo & Pan. The latter will enchant the Parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville with their dreamlike and tropical vision of the Canopy.
The Blaze sensation of the year will be in Paris for the first time. The two cousins presented an ultra licked clip for their new EP Territory offering a fascinating sound and aesthetic.
Beautiful discoveries: Témé Tan is a Belgian artist who offers electro-groovy music, whose inspirations are drawn from his travels – especially in Congo his country of origin. For her part, Irène Drésel will play heady electro-techno.
Side rock garage The Horrors will make its comeback that you should not miss.
