Madeon on Tour
Madeon is not your average EDM wunderkind. This French DJ and record producer may have got his start before he was of legal drinking age, but he crafts some of the smartest pop-straddling dance music on the planet — and when he brings it to the stage, expect fireworks. He's known for spectacular visuals, a pumped-up stage presence and live-only edits which turn the intensity of beloved album cuts up to 11. In 2017 he was nominated for two Electronic Music Awards, and he's produced sparkling tracks for such heavyweights as Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Two Door Cinema Club and Ellie Goulding. He toured with Lady Gaga for her Born This Way Ball, but his solo tours have fared just as well: The 2015 Adventure tour hit 22 North American cities, and his 2019 Goodfaith tour generated massive buzz, thanks to his growing interest in songwriting and pop songcraft.
Madeon in Concert
Madeon, born Hugo Pierre Leclercq, got his start composing music at the tender age of 11 in Nantes, France. His breakthrough moment came in 2011, when he was just 16: A YouTube video of his "Pop Culture" mash-up of 39 different songs (on a Novation Launchpad) went viral overnight. Months later, he would land his first live show ever, opening for French pop chanteuse Yelle in Paris. In 2012, he parlayed that success into invitations to play Ultra Music Festival in Miami, as well as Coachella, Lollapalooza and the Electric Daisy Festival...and he released his first EP, The City. (All this while maintaining his life as a normal teenager in Nantes.) Three years later, he dropped the well-received LP Adventure, which spawned tracks that were used in TV shows like Dancing With the Stars and games including FIFA 13, 15 and 17 and Forza Horizon. He took his time crafting a follow-up, and moved to Los Angeles to purposely throw himself into unfamiliar situations so he could learn and grow. The result was 2019's quantum leap, Goodfaith.
