The Marías’ María Zardoya unveiled her solo project Not For Radio last October with the release of the album Melt. Following a sold-out tour in the United States and the release of the Bloom EP, the singer headed to Europe and the UK for the “In The Forest Tour,” concluding with two nights at Le Casino de Paris.
The singer described the project as "another flower in the garden," an alternative reality in which she welcomed us all in.
The intricate stage design, with its mossy platform, many candlelights and flowing feathers, combined with the dreamy sounds of the artist, delivered an ethereal experience like none other, immersing the audience for one night in a magical forest inspired by Swan Lake. Divided into three acts of five songs each, Not For Radio performed songs off Melt and Bloom alike, as well as a new version of The Marías’ “No One Noticed.” Near the end of the night, María walked along the seats during “Ache,” sharing an intimate moment with her fans.
Tour might be over for Not For Radio, but they will be performing at a few festivals in North America over the summer.

British singer Holly Humberstone brought her Cruel World European Tour to a close at Les Etoiles in Paris, France.
Just two months before the release of her second album, titled Cruel World, Holly Humberstone travelled Europe on a sold-out tour. Rather than bringing her entire band with her, the singer chose to perform more intimate shows, with solely Seth Tackberry accompanying her on the keyboard.
Opening the show with her latest single, “To Love Somebody,” Holly created a setlist delightfully mixing older fan favorites, like “Scarlett” and “Deep End,” and unreleased songs from her upcoming album. She wrote most of the latter on a small writers’ retreat in London with her opening act, Woody. Amongst those were “Beauty Pageant," "Lucy"—dedicated to her sister—and the eponymous “Cruel World”. Holly then went on to introduce the last unreleased song, “White Noise,” which she wrote in Nashville and described as a pop song with an infusion of country. The live version was a lot calmer than the studio one, given the lack of a band, and one thing’s for sure: fans can’t wait to hear it and dance to it.
Before closing the show with “Dive,” Holly teased another tour in Europe in the following fall, with a full band this time.
Holly Humberstone will next go on a small, intimate tour in the UK before heading to the US for a two-month-long tour, starting off with a bang at Coachella. Her second album, Cruel World, will be released on the 10th of April.

Canadian band The Beaches took over the beautiful Élysée-Montmartre in Paris for their No Hard Feelings tour.
Almost three years since their last concert in France, The Beaches finally came back to the capital, going from a small 300 capacity venue to 1400 people, with fans travelling from all over the world. The energy from the crowd was through the roof before the band even came onstage, with a pre-show playlist turning the venue into a massive sing-along.
Mixing songs from their latest album with older hits such as “Everything is Boring” or “Blame Brett”, The Beaches performed for more than an hour to the cheers of the fans. Their crowd work is impeccable, from bringing a fan onstage to share a story as a way of introducing their song “Did I Say Too Much”, or lead singer Jordan Miller getting in the crowd to dedicate “Jocelyn” to a lucky fan.
The No Hard Feelings tour is far from being over, as The Beaches will next head onto the UK leg of the trip before going to Australia; if you have the opportunity to see them live, it is clear you should not miss it.

What better place for PVRIS to celebrate White Noise’s 10th Anniversary than in Paris itself?
The band, led by Lynn Gunn, was back in the French capital on July 6 for a sold-out show. The crowd, full of long-time fans, was ready as always to welcome and cheer on PVRIS for what was their 12th concert in Paris. It is indeed pretty much a tradition by now for them to perform once a year in their eponymous city, and France is always ready to welcome them here.
Divided into a two-part set, the concert’s first half consisted of a front-to-back performance of PVRIS’ debut album, White Noise. After a brief intermission, the band then came back onstage for the second half, consisting of a set of their more recent - but just as loved - songs.
The evening was full of energy, both from the band and the fans, with bassist Brian MacDonald crowdsurfing early, barely two songs in, and Lynn Gunn closing the night by singing Monster in the middle of the crowd. Whether you were a new or returning fan, there was no question whether you were welcome and belonged.
Julia Wolf is the opener for the EU/UK leg of the tour. It may have been her first time in Paris, but she was already very much loved by the crowd, with fans already knowing her songs and singing along with her. She will be back in Europe for her headline tour in December, and it looks promising already.

Just over three months after her intimate concert in church Saint-Eustache, Lucy Dacus was back in Paris on June 25th. This time, accompanied by a full band, the singer brought her Forever Is a Feeling tour to France and performed her latest album to yet another sold-out venue.
Despite the heatwave, the energy was not missing and fans were singing along to every word, rainbow flags and fans in full display. The date also marked the fourth anniversary of Lucy Dacus’s album “Home Video”, which the crowd celebrated by singing Joyeux Anniversaire (Happy Birthday in French) before having the singer perform songs off it like Cartwheel and Going Going Gone.
Jasmine.4.t was the concert opener, and it’s safe to say she gained new fans that night.
