It is in the Roaring Year style and blue sequined velvet decor of Nouvelle Eve, in Paris, that the nominees for the Victoires de la Musique 2024 were announced, Monday January 8, by the organization. Zaho de Sagazan is in the lead with five nominations. The singer-songwriter is cited in the categories of Female Revelation, Stage Revelation, Album, Song and Audiovisual Creation. The ceremony is scheduled for February 9.

Since 1985, the Victoires de la Musique have rewarded artists of variety songs. For the record, that year, the premiere took place opposite, at the Moulin Rouge. Master of Ceremonies on Antenna 2 : Daniel Balavoine and Renaud.

An edition under the sign of reform

This 39th edition will be broadcast on February 9 by France 2 live from the Musical Stage hosted by Léa Salamé and Cyrml Féraud. Léa Salamé who declares “thus leaving the political prism a little for music that unites”. And to quote Victor Hugo : “Music is noise that thinks”.

An edition marked by reform and an overhaul, declares the newly appointed president Vincent Frèrebeau, founder of the label Tôt ou tard, who assumed this responsibility between 2005-06 and 2012-13. He declares that he wants to answer “to this little music that we sometimes hear: there would be a problem of diversity, of oneself and of Parisianism. He adds “wanting to fight small arrangements between friends”.

The measures implemented involve a larger academy, increasing from 800 to 882 people, and, new, they are all professionals. There are 9 categories, compared to 8 last year. And in the end, it will be a jury of 32 people who will choose the winners, made up of professionals, festival programmers and artists (whose names are not communicated). Among these nominations, we will know who will succeed Pierre de Maere, Stromae, Angèle or November Ultra, the winners of the 2023 edition.
