Another dream will come true: French electronic stars M83 are coming to the Baltic countries this summer
Your eyes are not mistaken. There couldn't be a better gift for 8 Days A Week's eighth birthday. The forward-looking music agency delivers again and announces "M83" as the summer headliners. Next summer we will be visited by the long-awaited and long-awaited electronic heralds "M83". A show that we really wanted and that the city of Vilnius (and Sigulda) really needed.
Anthony Gonzalez, the brains, arms and legs of M83 and one of the most important people in today's electronic music, has finally marked our capital and Sigulda in his concert plans. Wow, we can't wait to meet him. It's still hard to believe, but in June we'll be hearing Midnight City, Wait, Reunion, We Own The Sky and M83's music live, and we'll finally be able to touch it with our hands. No excuses, our friends. There are no reasons to miss this concert and there cannot be. A classical open-air concert, a live documentary, a bit of fantasy and a journey through time and space await us. It will be amazing, no doubt about it!
Another very relevant name in the world of music, known for twenty years and having earned its place on more than one list, suitable for epithets and praise. M83's music has influenced more than one generation of artists, soundtracked many good films and commercials, and has become the soundtrack of our lives. June 7 they will visit Sigulda Castle in Latvia for the first time and on June 8 will end their stay in the largest cultural heritage object in the Baltic States in Vilnius - Lukiški prison, where such concerts are increasingly being held. A summer kicking off with Phoenix and M83 just can't be bad.

About M83
There are many good things to say about the M83. What a sound, how much pleasure. And the fulfillment of dreams, and nostalgia, and discoveries. When listening to M83, there's only one thought in my head - the perfect soundtrack when you no longer know who you are or where it's going to take you. They last a hell of a long time in the memory. They are brutally good live. Let's answer. Combining synth pop melodies and shoegaze into one world where Anthony Gonzalez plays with nostalgia and our feelings, M83 have become one of the most influential bands in their genre in the world. It would be safe to say that their music is perfect for the big screen. To see them live means to feel in another dimension for at least a couple of hours, to get out of yourself and forget all your everyday problems.

The soul of M83, Gonzalez grew up in Antibes, France. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a professional footballer (his grandfather was a striker who played for France in the 1966 World Cup), but he discovered music when he suffered a leg injury as a teenager. Anthony's parents gave him a guitar and together with his friend Nicolas Fromageau he founded his first band "My Violent Wish". After discovering synthesizers, they recorded the first version of the demo album, signed a contract with a record company, and thus began the beautiful journey of M83.
M83's second effort Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghost opened a new musical page for France. The duo has won critical acclaim and been praised for bringing a new and fresh sound to the electronic world. Even snobs at Pitchfork said, “The sound is massive, and Gonzalez's relentless attention to detail is overshadowed by the emotional power he conveys. This album is a marvel of humanity, beauty, frustration, glory and fall that not only envelops, but also gives space to explore the vastness of sound." Simply put, the M83 managed to turn synthesizers into the ultimate source of nostalgia and emotion.
After this album, the M83 line-up changed a bit, but Gonzalez continued to bake album after album - Before the Dawn Heals Us, Digital Shades, Vol.1, Saturdays = Youth and many other great records. Today, M83's music catalog is extremely colorful and deserves a serious listen. M83 once opened for Kings of Leon, The Killers and Depeche Mode. They made the perfect album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, which celebrated its ten-year anniversary last year. Anthony Gonzalez was nominated for a Grammy Award for this work. M83 was then discovered by the whole world, and his work has been featured in countless films and commercials. An almost one and a half hour recording that intoxicates, takes you out of this world and allows you to believe in music and your dreams again.
