NORD//NOIR (FR)

Punk at heart, techno in their veins, gabber in their blood: NORD//NOIR is a duo that turns rage and frustration into celebration and collective energy. Born out of pandemic boredom, the group channels its anger and struggles into music that lights up the grey skies of the North.

Their encounter at a rave in Belgium sparked it all. Yann composes and sings, while Nico writes lyrics infused with the wounds and injustices of our society:  police violence, migration, loneliness, patriarchy, the working-class condition… It’s all there, carried by a joyful dark party: a deliberate oxymoron that makes the sad jump and the disappointed smile.

On stage, NORD//NOIR gives everything. Their live performance is a true manifesto, powerful and generous. Between digital media and two masks crafted by cosmoceramic artist Lana Ruellan, the folklore of the North becomes a symbol of struggle and progressive values.

An experience where tradition, modernity, and activism meet, with contagious energy and a luminously dark spirit.
