BILLETTERIE OUVERTE !
🇫🇷 The Dears, figure emblématique de l’indie-rock canadien, ont marqué la scène internationale avec des concerts d’une intensité rare, décrits comme « l’équivalent sonore de voir le visage de Dieu ». Nommés au Polaris Music Prize, ils ont conquis les plus grands festivals (Coachella, Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Montreux Jazz Festival, Les Inrocks, Austin City Limits…) et les plateaux télé prestigieux (Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Jonathan Ross).
Le groupe a partagé la scène avec des artistes de renom tels que Morrissey, Rufus Wainwright, Bloc Party, Keane, Spiritualized, Metric ou Broken Social Scene, affirmant son statut culte sur la scène internationale.
🇨🇦 Formed in 1995, The Dears released their first, ultra lo-fi album, End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story, in 2000. The orchestral, dark pop sound and dramatic live shows cemented The Dears at the foundation of the then-emerging Canadian indie-rock renaissance. Their live show was described as “the sonic equivalent of seeing the face of god.” In 2001 and 2002, they released two separate concept EPs Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique and Protest, respectively. In 2003 they released their second full-length album No Cities Left in Canada, and a string of highly anticipated shows at SXSW ‘04 prompted the international release of No Cities Left with Bella Union. Their 3rd album, Gang of Losers, came in 2006, was well received by the press, and was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize. In 2008, the band released Missiles, followed by Degeneration Street (2011), Times Infinity Volume One (2015), Times Infinity Volume Two (2017), and Lovers Rock (2020). In 2024 The Dears partnered with Outside Music/Next Door Records and in the spring of 2025 completed their 9th studio album, release details forthcoming! The Dears have toured the world over, including performances on Letterman (twofold), Jimmy Kimmel, Jonathan Ross and at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Wireless, Montreal Jazz Fest, Siren Festival, Coachella, Austin City Limits, V Fest, Reading and Leeds, Les Inrocks (France), Montreux Jazz Fest, Istanbul Jazz Fest, Pop Montreal, CMW, NXNE and countless appearances at SXSW. They have shared stages with Spiritualized, Broken Social Scene, Daniel Lanois, Rufus Wainwright, Zemfira, Bloc Party, Keane, Morrissey, The Tragically Hip, Metric and Death From Above, to name a few.
