Continuing their world tour following the release of their acclaimed album Mustard n'Onions in April 2024 on Mack Avenue Records, Ghost-Note is led by drummer Robert "Sput" Searight and features musicians who have played and recorded with Prince, Kendrick Lamar, Herbie Hancock, Snarky Puppy, Marcus Miller, Kirk Franklin and other icons.

Ghost-Note

Virtuoso flutist and Guianese explorer Yann Cléry breaks with convention by fusing jazz, hip-hop and traditional music. A true sound alchemist, he turns his instrument into a polyphonic orchestra through the "flûte-box" technique and the Yann Solo project, an Afrofuturist performance in which electronic loops and organic grooves intertwine in real time. An artist devoted to transmission, he places sharing at the heart of his residency in Mayenne, bringing together his urban universe, the flutists of the département and the Big Band Sud Mayenne in a unique encounter that produces a vibrant, cross-cultural collective creation.

Le 11-22

A singular musician, Cécile Lacharme explores the cello with modernity and sensitivity. Moving between neoclassical and contemporary textures, her music paints immersive soundscapes, both gentle and powerful, in which the moment seems to expand. Alone on stage with her pedalboard, she layers loops and sonic strata, offering an enveloping, cinematic experience. Boat concert.

Les 3 Éléphants

Since 2019 and the release of his seventh album, La Nuit du réveil, Oxmo Puccino had stepped away from the microphone and from music. 2025 marks a return to the roots of things: rap, pure and proud. The genre that has lifted him up many times since Opéra Puccino. The Black Barry White will tour all over France to celebrate reuniting with his audience, heralding a final album as a legacy, a last goodbye to an audience and a movement with whom he has shared so much.

Oxmo Puccino

A 20-year-old Swiss rap artist from Renens. Introspective, melancholic lyrics that contrast nostalgia with more upbeat productions.

Musical Nap

A deep dive into the full universe of New Orleans, Louisiana and its bayous, filled with mystery. Voodoo rituals and the trances of the Mardi Gras Black Indians, dressed in feathers and masks, the spirit of Mardi Gras and the festive celebrations of New Orleans pulses through this show of hip-hop dance and funky, brassy sounds. An initiatory and festive performance.

Sam Sauvage

In her music, Simone d'Opale summons all of our humanity, born from the alchemy between intimate abysses and hazy reveries. A subtle balance emerges from these opposites, a peaceful fruit of our contradictions. Born in Nantes from the meeting of Manon Claude, a multi-award-winning singer, and Paul Dechaume, a multi-instrumentalist and composer, the band takes root in demos that lay buried for a long time, which Paul rearranges and transforms. Their worlds blend harmoniously: lyrics inspired by Alain Bashung and Klô Pelgag, carried by Anglo-Saxon sounds evoking Grizzly Bear, Beach House and Radiohead, an indie pop that is by turns luminous and melancholic.
