Kaytranada de retour à Montréal à l’automne

Kaytranada sera en spectacle à Montréal le 28 septembre.

Sur l’Île-Sainte-Hélène, à mi-chemin entre la métropole et son Longueuil natal, Kaytranada revient à la maison pour un concert qui s’annonce mémorable. En effet, la star amène sa tournée Timeless au Parc Jean-Drapeau le 28 septembre prochain.

Dans la dernière décennie, il a su captiver un public diversifié grâce à son mélange unique de hip-hop, de R&B, de funk et de house. Après avoir conquis le monde avec ses sons groovy et sexy, le producteur et artiste a présenté au printemps Timeless, un album qui s’annonce déjà séminal. La tournée nord-américaine qui l’accompagne est donc aussi solide, niveau line-up. Son acolyte et collaborateur Channel Tres le précédera sur toutes les dates, alors que d’autres amis comme Kitty Cash et bien entendu son frère Lou Phelps le rejoindront sur scène sur des dates spéciales, dont celle de Montréal.


Après son passage au Parc Jean-Drapeau en mai dernier avec Aminé pour leur projet commun, Kaytraminé, cette prochaine date en ville verra le public montréalais danser sur les hits du nouvel album en live pour la toute première fois. Ceux qui l’ont suivi au fil des ans connaissent le genre d’ambiance festive qui règne lors de ses shows à la maison, et cette fois-ci risque d’être extra spéciale, avec comme décor le soleil qui se couche sur la ville à l’horizon.

Cette tournée, que l’artiste présente en ce moment à travers l’Europe, fera le tour de l’Amérique du Nord et le verra se produire dans certaines des salles et scènes extérieures les plus réputées du continent, de Los Angeles à Burnaby.

Les billets pour la date montréalaise seront en vente dès ce vendredi.

‘Leaving Neverland’ Director Says ‘Michael’ Moviegoers Turn ‘Deaf Ear’ to Molestation Allegations

The director of Leaving Neverland accused moviegoers of the new Michael Jackson biopic of turning a “deaf ear” to the child molestation allegations against the singer.

Dan Reed, who helmed a pair of documentaries that detailed the accusations against Jackson, criticized the singer’s estate, Michael director Antoine Fuqua, and the moviegoing public in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “How can you tell an authentic story about Michael Jackson without ever mentioning the fact that he was seriously accused of being a child molester? I just don’t really see it,” Reed said. “People don’t care that he was a child molester. Literally, people just don’t care.”

Foo Fighters Build a Healing Album Out of Heroic Noise

Foo Fighters Build a Healing Album Out of Heroic Noise

The last Foo Fighters album, 2023’s But Here We Are, was a profound act of public grieving, the band’s first music since the tragic death of beloved drummer Taylor Hawkins only a year earlier. “Someone said I’ll never see your face again/Part of me just can’t believe it’s true,” Dave Grohl sang on the LP’s determined anthem “Under You.” For a band whose three-decade run has always been marked by how uncannily well-adjusted they seem, seeing them power through such a major loss in real time made for what was arguably the most emotionally intense listen in their discography. That is, until now. The band’s 12th album, Your Favorite Toy, is the next chapter in that story of fighting through grief and looking forward. Yet where its predecessor often had a reflective tone, their latest is about high-energy garage-rock catharsis, getting in a room and blasting away and letting the noise be your guide.

Inside Baz Halpin’s Spectacular Visions for Taylor Swift, No Doubt, and More

Baz Halpin was ready to follow his family into classical music when a Jethro Tull tour changed everything. As a teenager in the Nineties, the Irish producer and director had been working at a Dublin concert hall, where he became captivated by the way that lighting could accentuate the emotionality of music. So he accepted a gig as a lighting tech and rigger.

“I went on tour, and it was like stepping through that door in The Wizard of Oz, where everything suddenly went into color,” recalls Halpin, CEO and founder of the production company Silent House Group. “This whole world of travel, excitement, responsibility, wildness, and everything the rock & roll lifestyle offered, I fell in love with it.”
