Nouvelle Vague

The elegant sound of French band Nouvelle Vague will visit Vilnius in April

On April 9, 2025, the French music group "Nouvelle Vague" will hold a concert in Vilnius at the "Loftas" arts factory. The group called Bossanova Hooligans will present their latest album "Should I Stay or Should I Go" in the Baltic States, but the audience gathered at the Loft will also be able to hear the most popular hits of "Nouvelle Vague". Tickets for the concert are distributed by Bilietai.lt.

The "Nouvelle Vague" project, born in Paris in 2003, is the "child" of talented musicians and producers Marc Collin and the eternal Olivier Libaux, whose main idea was to recreate well-known post-punk and "new wave" works in bossanova style. Unexpectedly for the musicians themselves, the experiment became a group that recently celebrated its 20th birthday.

Nouvelle Vague's unique take on songs by bands like Joy Division, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Blondie led to such unforgettable covers as 'In a Manner of Speaking', 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and 'Dance With Me'. Over time, Nouvelle Vague's elegant sound has gained critical acclaim, millions of listens and a growing fan base worldwide, with the band praised for their creative arrangements and stunning live performances. And although Nouvelle Vague's line-up has changed several times over the course of their 2-decade musical career, the female voices that delight the band's fans always remain.

Nouvelle Vague co-founder Marc Collin makes no secret that he had no idea the band would last long enough to release so many studio albums. Like all of his musical projects, this one was intended as a one-off affair: "We wanted to pay tribute to the post-punk era and do it in a bossanova style - I thought it would only be one album. I didn't think it would take such a significant place in my life and I certainly didn't think I'd still be talking about it 20 years later."

Nouvelle Vague's latest album "Should I Stay or Should I Go" continues the tradition - it combines nostalgia and freshness, giving iconic songs a unique sound and subtly modern mood. The album, released in 2024, skillfully combines mysterious vocals and sophisticated instrumental melodies and new interpretations of various well-known rock songs, it is both a tribute to the music that inspired the "Nouvelle Vague" and a reflection of the group's new creative direction.
