There wasn’t room for everyone at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. While bands like Gojira, Phoenix and Air shone in front of millions of viewers, other artists couldn’t hide their disappointment about their absence from the festivities. This was notably the case for David Guetta, who was surprised not to have been contacted by the organization with theAFP : “If you have the answer you will give it to me. Because I have not understood at all. On a global level, I am still between the 4th and 15th most listened to artist in the world, not DJ, artist. Nobody has called me. And yet I am French and I love France. That’s how it is.“Matt Pokora had clearly shown his disappointment last May:”I would have liked to do it, but it wasn’t offered to me.“

I think they didn’t even think of us.“
“There are things I loved, others a little less.“
Despite everything, Nicolas Sirkis assures that he is not offended, all the while tackling some of his colleagues: “Not at all. But you will have noticed that we had the decency not to talk about it like some of our colleagues…“The French artist even admits to having had a good time during the Olympic fortnight:”I was delighted with these Olympics, I saw several events with my children, I bought my tickets. It was extraordinary. On the opening ceremony, there are things that I loved, others a little less. Gojira, it was crazy.“Please note that Indochine is releasing its new album this Saturday, September 7, entitled Babel, Babel.
