Freddie Gibbs at Bataclan on April 4

A leading light in independent American rap, Freddie Gibbs is treating us to a must-see concert this spring at Bataclan. With a mix of street poetry, introspection, and raw realism, the artist shakes things up with a no-filter pen and razor-sharp flow. This is an unmissable event for those who call themselves “purists” as well as for lovers of sincere hip-hop.

Smerz at La Gaîté Lyrique on April 12

From Oslo to Copenhagen, the Norwegian duo Smerz plays with genre boundaries. With a resolutely girly existential palette, the two musicians draw inspiration from both classical music composition techniques and experimentation in electronic music and pop energy. They have performed at Tate Modern as well as Berghain, in small settings or even alongside the Norwegian National Company of Contemporary Dance… And this time, they're hitting the stage at La Gaîté Lyrique!

Just Mustard at Trabendo on April 17 

Irish band hailing from Dundalk, Just Mustard captivates its audience with a hauntingly bold rock, sprinkled with industrial sounds, ethereal textures, and the velvety voice of singer Katie Bell. With their third album, WE WERE JUST HERE, the band bursts forth with a new, almost euphoric energy. It's a quest for happiness that veers into something strange yet fascinating, always echoing the sound styles of Nirvana or My Bloody Valentine.
