Does Meduza mean something to you? If so, you’ll be happy to know that this Italian trio of electronic music producers has been tasked with making Quebecers celebrating the New Year dance in front of the National Assembly.
The creators of dance hits Piece of Your Heart and Lose Control are at the top of the list at the Toboggan festival, back for the holidays in the Grande Allée sector from December 28th to 31st.
“In Europe they’re huge, they have the biggest stages and here in North America it’s just starting. […] We have statistics in Quebec and we know what their penetration is. It’s a good size. It will make EDM fans react, that’s for sure,” says programmer Louis Bellavance.
Meduza, he adds, has the peculiarity of presenting itself as a solo, duo or trio. “It’s Simone Giani sitting at the console. When the others are there, they just stand on the stage and look at him with their arms crossed.
Sheer luxury
In addition to Meduza, who will be in action on December 31st, the Canadian duo Loud Luxury, now based in Los Angeles, forms the other major part of the line-up.
“There are a lot of requests for it,” emphasizes Louis Bellavance.
Among the other artists announced, it is also worth mentioning the presence of Quebecer Les Louanges.
Cubic scene
With the exception of the evening of the 31st before the midnight countdown, which will take place at the Place de l’Assemble-Nationale, all the shows will be presented at the Place George-V, to which Toboggan will return after a few years of absence due to the events carried out there Work.
Newly we will set up a cube-shaped stage, which, as confirmed by the President and CEO of Bleufeu, Nicolas Racine, will enhance the experience of electronic music lovers.
“It will be a multi-sided stage, allowing festival goers to see the show from three sides with lots of visual elements. We are excited about this new scene. We really want to continue to improve the event.”
