BOUNDLESS CINEMATIC POP
By always choosing new art forms and channels to realize his visions, Frenchman Woodkid has become a real icon in the last decade: He is an exceptional audiovisual artist whose work always bears his signature, although it takes on a new shape with each collaboration and release. For the upcoming tour, the creative mind has once again come up with something very special to present his two hit albums "The Golden Age" and "S16" in an unprecedented form and to invite the fans in the theater of Augusta Raurica on a spectacular journey through his very personal universe. Woodkid will be supported by the two Basel synth bands Bleu Roi and Phoam.
We already knew that Yoann Lemoine aka Woodkid is an artist who succeeds in building a bridge between the old and the new world. And not just because he has already collaborated with quite a few super heavyweights of the international pop world: Lana Del Rey and Drake were there as well as Rihanna, Kate Perry or even Pharrell. Even more extraordinary is that he is one of the few artists who work in a truly multidisciplinary way, leaving classic genre and genre boundaries behind. It would never occur to Woodkid to put a stop to curiosity. As a musician, a single album - "The Golden Age" (2013) - was enough for him to make a clear sonic and visual statement and win countless fans for his project in addition to unqualified critical praise. And now, after several years of maturation, concentration and experimentation, he goes one step further in his incomparable way of creating new worlds. His current longplayer "S16" is about reference sizes: from the infinitely large to the infinitely small, about the balance of power between man and machine, also about collective and individual responsibility to conceive a new world, when the old one is so close to collapse. With his two previous releases in his luggage, Woodkid will come to Augusta Raurica in the summer of 2022. In the historic walls, the Frenchman presents a stage show that fuses technology and emotion into an inseparable unit with playful ease, revealing a symphonic experience the likes of which the music world has never seen before.
Bleu Roi (SWI)
Bleu Roi's music finds its expression somewhere between atmospheric dream-pop and singer-songwriter luminaries like José Gonzales or Bon Iver. It is equally infused with the fine veins of melancholy and the throbbing heartbeats of unconditional joie de vivre. Happiness & sadness, pleasure & pain, rapture & disillusionment: In the work of Bleu Roi the opposites are conditioned, which the formation basically understands as a unity. The single "Darkest Hour" foreshadowed the new album in the summer of 2018. In October 2019, the second long player of the Basel formation saw the light of day. Named "Dark/Light", it saw its genesis in the cities of Basel and Gothenburg. After Archive's concert in Augusta Raurica had to be cancelled due to pandemic, Bleu Roi will now support Woodkid in the ancient walls.
Phoam (SWI)
Phoam is restraint and outburst, buildup and demolition. Calculated tracks combined with the eternal struggle of inner feelings. Uncompromising tension on the ditch edge of discord. After the Basel band has drawn the spotlight with their first single "Cold Blood" and the accompanying multi-award winning music video, now comes the second strike. "Justice" comes with an exciting, gritty serenity that is second to none. The song consciously and skillfully dances between the ecstasy of a bunker rave and the frequencies of a pop radio. It thus combines two extremes and again skilfully envelops the listener with Phoam's typical secondary veil of sensations.
