Silly Boy Blue - ARTE Concert Festival 2025

The triumphant return of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds to France bring with them a full stage show brimming with elegant fury and mystical fervour. Recorded on November, 17th 2024 at the Accor Arena in Paris.

Arcade Fire are masters of epic performances and this date at the AccorsHotel arena was just that; as part of a major tour following the release of the Canadian sextet’s last album ‘Everything Now’.

Iggy Pop has been at the top of the punk pantheon for decades. He may well be 72 years old but he’s just as rebellious as ever. In July 2019, the legendary American performed a jazz vibes set based on his latest album, “Free”, in the historic foyer of the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris.

Stromae is a true showman and all-around artist: composer, producer, performer, dancer… This exclusive documentary follows the Belgian singer during a concert he gave for a small audience in the stunning setting of the Lac de l'Axe Majeur in Cergy in September 2022, before the cancellation of the end of his tour (May 2023).

Aya Nakamura is set to set the stage ablaze at the Stade de France. Join us for the live stream on May 30 for an unforgettable show headlined by one of the most-streamed French-speaking artists in the world. Get a front-row seat, no matter where you are.

A joyous return to the stage for Zach Condon and his European folk-focussed indie project Beirut. This is music as imagined landscape, a romantic sweep of Europe's past through the eyes of an American troubadour. From his Balkan-tinged debut in 2006, through a bohemian France dreamed up on 2007's The Flying Cup Club and on towards the Dutch and Mexican influences of his later material, Beirut is clearly the work of a singular vision while remaining hauntingly familiar, a half-remembered dream of a past life. Latest album Hadsel was inspired by a short time spent exiled in northern Norway, an emotional return to form released in 2023.

Pathana adores to be photographed by Farid, but does not want him to approache her to closely. Farid hates poetry, but likes to box with the words. Pathana is willing to be stimulated.

After years living in France, Chilly Gonzales has rustled up a whole album in hommage to chanson française. The versatile Canadian pianist demonstrates his admiration for the form onstage at the ARTE Concert Festival.

ARTE Concert Festival welcomes the legendary Damon Albarn. He performs his new album live: The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows. Setlist: "The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows", "The Cormorant", "Royal Morning Blue", "Lonely Press Play", "Go Back", "The Tower of Montevideo", "The Poison Tree", "Hong Kong", "Daft Wader", "Out of Time", "El Mañana", "Darkness to Light", "On Melancholy Hill", "Polaris", "Particles", "This Is a Low"

Written around Pomme’s album Saisons, this show is a sensitive journey, addressed to children and to adults who haven’t fully grown. Four dancers embody the four ages of a single character, moving through the seasons as one moves through life. Carried by a string quartet, the music becomes an inner landscape. The character transforms, searches, multiplies—as if trying to piece together fragments of themselves to rediscover a circle, a sense of wholeness, season after season.
