Aterciopelados, led by Andrea Echeverri and Héctor Buitrago, bring three decades of socially conscious rock fused with Latin rhythms. On this tour they celebrate La Pipa de la Paz — 30 Years with a set that balances electric immediacy and poetic lyricism. Support act Palenque La Papayera offers exuberant banda rooted in Caribbean mestizaje, communal dance and brass-driven textures. Together they create a festive, visceral dialogue where political urgency meets collective joy and movement.

Meryl has emerged as a defining voice of her generation, revealed by the 2019 single Béni and followed by the EP Ozoror (2023) and her debut album Caviar I (2024). Nominated at the Victoires de la Musique and Les Flammes in 2024, her songs blend intimate lyricism with bold melodic textures. Presented by Voix de Fête and Inouïe, this concert foregrounds the voice, moving between hushed confession and soaring chorus, with close musical interplay.

Led by Warren Ellis (violin) with Mick Turner (guitar) and Jim White (drums), Dirty Three craft expansive instrumental narratives that blend post‑rock, folk, classical and free jazz. Their music moves through intimate, quiet passages to sweeping, cathartic crescendos, built from delicate interplay and raw timbre. The trio’s return with Love Changes Everything (2024) deepens their reputation for emotive soundscapes and intense live catharsis. Their long collaborations with artists like Nick Cave, Cat Power and Bonnie “Prince” Billy underscore a singular voice in contemporary alternative music.

Wednesday 4 November, 20:00

MIKI writes, films and sings with a sharp, candid voice, crafting a hybrid pop that balances nervous energy and intimate detail. Her performance mixes absurd vignettes and tender moments, delivered with an ironic distance that keeps listeners off‑balance. She stages songs like short films, letting onstage gestures and lo-fi visuals punctuate the music. Revealed at Voix de Fête 2025, MIKI’s show feels immediate and unvarnished, alternating between playful chaos and fragile honesty.
