VIVE LA FÊTE + POTOCHKINE

Vive la Fête was founded in Ghent in 1997 by Els Pynoo and Danny Mommens. Their mix of electronic music, new wave, guitars and singing in French quickly found an audience far beyond Belgium. Albums like République Populaire and Nuit Blanche have made the band known internationally. Tracks like “Je Ne Veux Pas”, “Touche Pas”, “Makeup” and “Noir Désir” have long been classics of their concerts.

Over the years, Vive la Fête has toured extensively in Europe and has performed in Russia, Japan, Mexico, Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America. The group has also moved closer to the world of fashion after attracting the attention of Karl Lagerfeld. He has performed at Chanel events and international fashion shows.

On stage, Els and Danny are surrounded by a full band. Electronics and synthesizers meet drums, bass and guitar.

In 2026, Vive la Fête celebrated its history with Vive l’Archive: 30 ans de fête, a book of 272 pages taken from the group’s vast personal archives.

In 2027, Vive la Fête puts Nuit Blanche at the center of its concerts. Released in 2003, the album played an important role in the band’s international breakthrough. The White Tower 2027 revisits Nuit Blanche, with the nearly three-decade classics of Vive la Fête.

POTOCHKINA

Potoshkine is an electronic duo based in Paris that mixes EBM, darkwave, techno and theatrical performance to create electronic music that is both powerful and poetic. Formed in the middle of the years 2010 by two artists from the theatre and performing arts, Potoshkin stands out for his ability to transform his concerts into immersive rituals, combining dance, storytelling and raw physical energy. Their first EP, *Free Your Imagination* (2016), revealed their dark and poetic aesthetic, followed by *Potochkine* (2018) and the critically acclaimed album *Sortilèges* (2021), which established them as one of the most captivating formations in the European dark electronic scene.

Their sound combines pulsed EBM rhythms, synthpunk intensity and coldwave atmospheres, all contrasted by voices in French – spoken or sung – that explore various dualities: shadow and light, love and anger, body and spirit. The duo’s theatrical stage presence and outstanding visual identity have earned them invitations to major festivals, such as the Wave-Gotik-Treffen and the Amphi Festival. Recent singles, such as “Endorphins” and “BI”, continue to enrich their sound universe, testifying to Potoshkin’s constant desire to push the boundaries between music, performance and emotion.
