This will warm up the Parisians!
The Hyper Weekend Festival will put the Maison de la Radio et de la Musique in turmoil from January 26 to 28.
In just two editions, the Radio France musical event has already become essential with its major revelations – November Ultra the first year, Zaho de Sagazan the second – and its multiple creations, Gainsbourg's “Love On The Beat” magnified by Alex Beaupain, the “symphonic pop” of Clara Luciani, the crazy pianos of Eddy de Pretto, the tributes to Dominique A and Mylène Farmer.
This third edition promises once again with a plethora of posters: no less than eight ephemeral creations and more than a hundred artists on stage, solo or in groups.
We can't wait to see from Friday what Barbara Pravi will do with Dalida's repertoire in gypsy diva mode, especially since she will have Santa, the explosive singer of Hyphen Hyphen, and the revelation Solann...
An attractive program
We also expect a lot on Saturday from the “Sensational Symphony” by the volcanic and sensitive singer-bassist Jeanne Added, arranged by Dan Levy (The Dø) and accompanied by the Radio France philharmonic orchestra.
On paper, the “Personal Messages” to Françoise Hardy concocted by Sage are also very appealing!
The next day, he will send them to us with Thomas Dutronc, Clara Luciani, Philippe Katerine, November Ultra, Voyou, Keren Ann, Albin de la Simone, P.R2B… Needless to say, these three creations are sold out.
Jeanne Added will be on stage at the Hyper Weekend Festival on Saturday January 27.
LP/Philippe de Poulpiquet
But the good surprise is that the others are not yet filled.
The opening evening “Qui va piano va sano”, Friday at 9 p.m., offers a line-up as enticing as it is eclectic with nine piano-voice artists, Sheila, Luidji, Camélia Jordana, Meryl, Ibeyi, Yamê, Alice Taglioni, Piche and Claude.
The hyper carte blanche given to the excellent “world music” label No Format, too, has something to attract with concerts in small groups by ALa.
Ni, Piers Faccini, Natascha Rogers, Asynchrone and Lucas Santtana.
Just like Frànçois Atlas and Aja, who promise us “22nd heaven” – on the 22nd floor of the Maison de la Radio – for three days at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
This year, the festival will also cross the Seine
We will also not miss the return of the brilliant Thomas de Pourquery and Kids Return (Sunday from 6 p.m.) and in another room the intimate sessions of the very gifted British singer Declan McKenna (Sunday at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.), who will play in preview of the tracks from his next album, expected on February 9.
And if you want to get an idea of the 2024 trend, we strongly advise you to take a look at the discovery concerts, including Oscar Les Vacances, Baby Volcano, Poppy Fusée...
New for this 3rd edition, the festival will cross the Seine to broadcast three films at the Pathé cinema in Beaugrenelle, including a fascinating documentary on “La belle histoire” from the Tôt ou Tard label, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary (Saturday at 11:30 a.m.).
The three sessions are free (by reservation) like 29 events over these three days.
It's impossible to announce everything as there will be so many conferences, meetings and surprises.
The ideal is to go to the festival website and book your ticket there quickly.
Prices start at 20 euros and do not exceed 55 euros.
