Brave like Beyries, brave like Lisa
It still exists. The new album, then the album show. Artisans and artists of song will thus experience the season dangerously… and passionately. Let’s encourage them. The first disc in French Beyries will still be hot when she defends him, at the end of February, in Outremont. In the same place, which once again becomes a house of song, will follow one another Elephant Stone, Andréanne A. Malette And Caroline Savoie, new discs in the luggage. In the surroundings, the Sarah Dufour, Milk & Bone, Basia Bulat, Philippe B, Geoffroy, Blue Jeans Blue, Elliot Maginot And Alexandre Poulin will also dare to put their recent creations through the test of the stage. A little everywhere in the province, Philippe Brach propose to The people we love, Dirtybeard will continue to celebrate its sort of endless Mardi Gras. To Wilfrid-Pelletier on 1er March, the incredible Lisa LeBlanc will attempt the great Chiac shock of disco and symphony. That’s the crazy adventure we like.
Four times Cardin, zero times Swift
What is the Olympic Stadium used for? Apologies to Taylor Swift to raise its already naturally upturned nose towards Montreal. We saw it clearly at Metallica last summer: the Big O, for the sound system, is definitely zero. Everything is much better in Toronto, at the old SkyDome that the Rogers brand has taken over. No crumbling concrete, a retractable roof without any resistance. The American-planetary megastar’s six-night residency at the Rogers Center is already the Canadian event of the 2024 pop year. It’s a long way off, November, but we’re still on the fence, this denial of existence . Luckily we have our Charlotte. Not cheap, returning from a triumphant stay in Europe, it is at Place Bell in Laval that all the points of the compass will converge for the grandissimo Charlotte Cardin. Four evenings, our very own global star will perform, from February 8 to 11, and boom in the gums of Torontonians: a little Massey Hall of nothing at all, and that’s it.
Satisfaction guaranteed, captions provided
There is no longer any programming that can hold without them. In the region, at Place des Arts, they occupy more and more space. Who is that ? The ersatz. The fake derches assumed as such, capable of playing all Queen like champions, all Pink Floyd without the anti-Semitic nonsense of Roger Waters. Hey! The public says yes: in these uncertain times, offering yourself “ Tramp of the Century presents the tour Breakfast in America » sings it Logical Song satisfaction guaranteed. Do it again, there will be something for everyone: a certain Dave La Fame in Tom Jones, The Australian Bee Gees Show, Abbamania Canada, Symphonic Nirvana unpluggedwithout forgetting the return of the formidable The Musical Boxmore Genesis than life, reissuing the album Selling England by the Pound. The French-speaking promoters have started: we will have Les BB by Ludovick Bourgeois(yes, the son of the deceased Patrick), an incarnation of Brel by Olivier Laurenta “life in Piaf” by Vladimir Korneev, A Pelchat Aznavour now. Will you have any money left for tomorrow’s legends?
Revenants and ghosts
Mireille Mathieu, Nana Mouskouri, Renaud, Michel Fugain, Enrico Macias : we will experience, in the wake of the tribute shows, a mass return of legends still living. It’s now or never, we tell ourselves. This is certainly true for a Daniel Auteuilthe actor, who we have never seen sing and who will be in concert in Outremont on April 30 and 1er may. In truth, all ways of convincing fans of yesterday and the day before yesterday are good. The collective show And it’s not over will bring together “the first cohort of academicians” from the reality TV show. Bruno Pelletier will mark the 25th of his album Miserere. Roch Neighborhe will sing the 35th anniversary of his Helene. Luce Dufault will join his show to that of For a one night stand. Lara Fabian will tell us I love you (especially wishing the reciprocal). Paul Piché, Peter Flynn, Michel Rivard And Isabelle Boulaywill continue their respective tours. The groups Maneige And Grimskunk will once again demonstrate their know-how. Sure values, indeed. And vast choice.
Large and small visits
January could start with a bang at the Bell Centre. Provided that Madonna goes on stage at the scheduled time. Even the expected days, in this case the 18th and 20th, dates postponed from last August. Aerosmithat the same place on the 26th? No. Postponed indefinitely. We can no longer trust our stage beasts, and the reimbursement at Ticketmaster is the cross and the banner. Megastar status comes with megarisks, we’ll see if things go well for Olivia Rodrigo in March and Nicki Minaj in April. The fact is that in the coming months, confidence will go to the veterans who are the Dandy WarholsTHE Kronos Quartet, Machine Head, Ministry, Queens of the Stone Age, Queensrÿche Or Belle & Sebastian, too discreetly legendary to throw tantrums. Has a Tim McGrawcountry singer strong in his boots, we will entrust our gold with more assurance than bitcoins in the no man’s land digital: the cowboy will be at the Bell Center on May 2. Yep.
