SUMMARY:French 79 - CLOSE TO THE GIANTS
LOCATION:Thalia Hall
DESCRIPTION:Crowned the heir to the French Touch and dubbed by Jean-Michel 
 Jarre himself\, Simon Henner (French 79)\, has established himself as an e
 ssential pillar of the global electronic music scene. In the space of thre
 e foundational albums (Olympic\, Joshua\, and TEENAGERS)\, the Marseille-b
 ased producer has shaped a singular\, immersive\, and viscerally unifying 
 musical universe. If his music reaches far beyond the boundaries of the te
 chno sphere\, it is thanks to its synesthetic power: his harmonic sequence
 s and arpeggios transform sounds into emotional landscapes\, creating a un
 iversal connection with his audience.Today\, the impact of French 79 is re
 flected in staggering numbers. He gathers a community of 770\,000 fans and
  accumulates over 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His first thre
 e albums have generated more than 150 million streams\, driven by music vi
 deos that exceed 50 million views. He continues to rack up prestigious cer
 tifications\, with two export platinum singles (Diamond Veins and Lovin Fe
 eling)\, not to mention the resounding diamond single Moon\, produced and 
 co-composed for Kid Francescoli.On stage\, the triumph is absolute: his la
 st tour thrilled 180\,000 spectators across 106 dates in 23 countries\, wi
 th a string of sold-out shows from Paris to Los Angeles. His creative infl
 uence has also conquered new spaces: he composed the original soundtrack f
 or Reda Katebs film Sur un fil\, scores campaigns for prestigious brands (
 Apple\, Dior\, LOral\, Emily in Paris)\, and creates monumental events\, w
 hether its the video mapping of Place Stanislas in Nancy or performing alo
 ngside Cerrone for New Years Eve on the Champs-lyses.Yet\, at the peak of 
 this effervescence\, a vital need for a break emerged. Far from the protec
 tive bubble of tour life (sound engineers\, managers\, crowds)\, Simon Hen
 ner felt the urgent need to return to calm\, to lose himself in order to f
 ind himself\, and to listen to the silence. A huge enthusiast of extreme a
 nd outdoor sports (paragliding\, kite surfing\, ski touring\, sailing\, et
 c.)\, the artist has made radical adventure his new creative laboratory.To
  design his fourth album\, expected by the end of 2026\, French 79 relocat
 ed his studio. Fleeing software and sedentary comfort\, he built his own m
 odular synthesizer housed in a suitcase. This nomadic studio followed him 
 into extreme environments: from his sailboat in the middle of the Mediterr
 anean Sea in the dead of night\, to isolated mountain huts surrounding the
  4\,000-meter peaks of Chamonix.By reconnecting with a primitive and carna
 l relationship with electronics (plugging in cables in the freezing cold\,
  recording sound directly to tape)\, he has transformed adrenaline and phy
 sical fear into musical matter. This new opus will be a philosophical ques
 t\, resonating as a double homage to the pioneers of extreme exploration a
 nd to the overwhelming immensity of nature.\n\nBoletos: https://www.ticket
