Madeon Presents 'Victory' Live
About the Event
Better known to fans as Madeon, visionary French producer, singer, and songwriter Hugo Pierre Leclercq first went viral at 17 with his “Pop Culture” mashup, which saw him live-mixing samples from 39 different songs on a Novation Launchpad. With his work spreading like wildfire online, Leclercq began touring the world, playing iconic festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza and sharing bills with luminaries like Lady Gaga, who invited him to open a series of arena shows and record together. Leclercq would go on to collaborate with everyone from Coldplay and Ellie Goulding to Muse and Deadmau5, but it was his solo work that earned his biggest accolades, with his 2015 debut, Adventure, garnering rave reviews, and his 2019 follow-up, "Good Faith," debuting at #1 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic chart and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic Album.
Leclercq’s new record, "Victory," is a rapturous, multi-media masterpiece that sits at the intersection of punk, indie rock, electro-clash, sci-fi and high fashion. Leclercq’s writing is both brash and vulnerable, grappling with identity and reinvention in the wake of heartbreak and loss, and his productions are larger-than-life, transforming raw, personal revelations into epic, stadium-sized anthems that blur the line between fantasy and reality. The result is a bold, daring exploration of transformation and catharsis, an irresistible celebration of freedom and self-discovery from a singular artist at a pivotal crossroads.
