Palomosa revient pour une deuxième édition ce weekend au parc Jean-Drapeau. Malgré sa jeunesse, le festival s’impose déjà comme le rendez-vous des mélomanes avides de l’underground et des musiques alternatives. L’édition 2025 met en avant un mélange éclectique d’artistes d’horizons variés, qui ont tous en commun d’être à l’avant-garde dans leur style.

De pionnières dans leur domaine à des étoiles montantes de la scène émergente, voici certains des spectacles à ne pas manquer à Palomosa ce weekend.


M.I.A.

5 septembre- Scène Fizz, 22h

Difficile d’imaginer la pop contemporaine sans l’empreinte de M.I.A. Depuis Arular et Kala, ses deux albums vivement encensés sortis au milieu des années 2000, ses morceaux comme Paper Planes et Bad Girls ont ouvert la voie à une esthétique où électro, hip-hop et world music se rencontrent. Son approche visuelle, politique (parfois controversée) et sonore a influencé toute une génération d’artistes.

Ses spectacles se font rares, donc ne manquez pas votre chance de la voir en live, surtout dans un cadre aussi intimiste que Palomosa.

Arca

6 septembre- Scène Fizz, 22h

Arca est devenue l’une des figures les plus marquantes de la musique électronique expérimentale. Productrice vénézuélienne installée à Barcelone, elle a aidé à façonner des univers sonores pour des artistes comme Björk, FKA twigs, Rosalia et Kanye West, tout en développant une œuvre solo qui mêle voix déformées, rythmes club déconstruits et performances très poussées.

Son esthétique queer et radicale fait d’elle une révolutionnaire à sa manière; ses concerts sont autant des expériences sonores que visuelles, où la frontière entre intimité et chaos est volontairement brouillée.

Fcukers

5 septembre- Scène Fizz, 19h15


Duo issu de la scène alternative new-yorkaise, fcukers propose une électro abrasive qui convoque autant la pop, le dubstep et la musique club. Leur univers évoque l’énergie brute des raves clandestines à la sauce Gen Z, avec des sets live déjantés.

Rebecca Black

6 septembre- Scène Fizz, 20h30


Propulsée dans la culture web à 13 ans grâce à Friday, Rebecca Black a longtemps été un meme avant d’opérer un virage artistique inattendu. Son EP Rebecca Black Was Here (2021) et l’album Let Her Burn (2023) l’ont installée comme une voix singulière dans la sphère hyperpop, jouant avec l’autodérision, l’esthétique internet et les codes de la célébrité.

¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U

6 septembre, Scène du Jardin, 20h30

DJ japonais atypique, Yousuke Yukimatsu s’est vite imposé dans le monde du DJ'ing grâce à des sets où l’imprévisibilité est reine. Là où la plupart des DJs cherchent la continuité, il préfère la rupture: superpositions improbables, variations soudaines de tempo, collisions entre genres.

Devenu DJ sur un coup de tête après avoir reçu un diagnostic de cancer, son approche carpe diem déconstruit l’idée du mix linéaire, où il embrasse le chaos de chaque événement. À Palomosa, il offrira sans doute l’un des moments les plus déstabilisants du week-end.

Marie Davidson

6 septembre, Scène du Jardin, 17h50

Artiste montréalaise incontournable, Marie Davidson occupe une place singulière dans le paysage électronique. Connue pour ses projets solo et avec Essaie Pas, elle navigue entre techno minimale, coldwave et spoken word. Après l’album Working Class Woman, où elle explorait la face sombre de la culture club, elle s’est réinventée avec Renegade Breakdown en 2020 en intégrant des influences funk, disco et synthpop.

Nolan Wells’ Family Demands ‘Thorough’ Investigation: Death ‘Does Not Make Sense’

The family of Nolan Wells, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, and activist Rev. Al Sharpton held a press conference in New York Friday, July 10, demanding a “thorough” investigation into the death of the 18-year-old football player who had last been seen on Horn Island.

“It is clear that this situation must have the most thorough and objective investigation to lead to justice,” Sharpton said Friday. “What we’ve been told does not make sense, and being that there is lack of confidence in the local authorities, who have already, in my judgment, seemed to mishandled where it was going … When we hear that this young man was engaged in some kind of argument that was on tape. That his cell phone and keys ended up with one of the people that were there on the island and got away. He was one Black with three young white men who happened to end up with his phone, happen to end up with his keys. There’s just too many questions that they should not be closing the investigation.”

Shania Twain Taps Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme for Country Rock Bop ‘Faded Blue Jeans’

Shania Twain is rocking again. The country-pop queen has released a bluesy rock track “Faded Blue Jeans,” and even tapped Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme to lend vocals. The song is steeped in gritty nostalgia, as Twain recalls a trusty pair of jeans, and the past relationship they remind her of.

“Faded blue jeans, big holes in the knees,” Twain and Homme harmonize on the chorus. “Rolling in the grass in ’em, trying to get your hands in ’em,” they sing over booming drums and crash cymbals.

Please, Please, Please Stop Making ‘Evil Dead’ Movies

We are fans of the Evil Dead movies. We’ve always loved director Sam Raimi’s go-for-broke brio, his proof-of-concept examples of how Three Stooges-style slapstick could pair nicely with Grand Guignol levels of gore, the way the films took modest budgets and simple ingredients — kids, demons, a cabin in the woods — and somehow used them to create gonzo horror soufflés. Despite the in-house mythology becoming more complicated once things moved to the small screen, the sheer pleasures of the series remained. It was the rare modern-horror franchise to revolve around a hero (shout-out to Ash Williams) rather than an iconic killer. Its resident big bad was a book. A tome bound in the flesh of the damned and inked in blood, but still. Even when the films got a “soft” reboot in 2013, courtesy of Uruguayan writer-director Fede Álvarez, the switch from ha-ha to holy-shit intensity still managed to capture the twisted, tainted spirit of the original trilogy.

Syd on Growing Up, Getting Happy, and Finding Her Voice

Syd was still in her teens when she began to change the sound of pop and R&B. That’s when she and friends like Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and Frank Ocean started releasing music and calling themselves the Odd Future collective, with Syd’s childhood bedroom in L.A. serving as their main hub and creative space. But that was nearly two decades ago, and Syd’s perspective on life as a millennial has changed.

“I have a theory that I came up with last night,” the singer and producer tells me over an iced espresso with vanilla and almond milk at a Black-owned cafe she recently discovered in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. “I think 30 is the new 20. Unfortunately, for Gen X, it was the opposite. It was like, once you’re 30, it was, ‘All right, where your kids at?’ and if you didn’t have kids, you were Peter Pan. Gen Z is starting to exhibit some of that too. But I feel like, for us, me and my peers, it seems like 30 was that time we accepted who we are. We all knew who we were, but coming to accept it took time.”

Scout Willis Majestically Moves On After a Breakup in New Song ‘Honey, I’

Scout Willis Majestically Moves On After a Breakup in New Song ‘Honey, I’

Scout Willis belts a powerhouse kiss-off to a faithless lover on her grandiose, new gospel-rock song, “Honey, I.” “Honey, I … I don’t have to, I don’t have to love you to love me,” she sings in the chorus. Her voice sounds playful, vulnerable, and brash at times, reflecting the lyrics as she affirms her self-worth as her voice climbs with the melody. The song will appear on an upcoming album, which will come out via 10K Projects, part of Atlantic Music Group. The song follows the release of her songs “It Ain’t Nothing” and “So Many Ways.”

Willis filmed the “Honey, I” video for the song at Los Angeles’ historic, 102-year-old Highland Theatre, which her friend Kristen Stewart recently bought to preserve it. The movie house’s marquee bears her name and she dances among the seats, alone, which is the point of the song.
