While the Golden Globes, as always, opened the ceremony, and while waiting for the César and the Oscars, the Victoires de la Musique are fast approaching and should, as always, bring together their share of leading artists. In 2024, the French high mass of the fourth art (which had disappointed some) was notably marked by an honorary prize awarded to a tearful Bernard Lavilliers. Zazie was destabilized by a technical bug, while Zaho de Sagazan (and his astonishing link with Mylène Farmer) carried out a hold-up. And this year, a somewhat special edition is being prepared since the Victoires de la Musique are celebrating their 40th anniversary. So when will this vintage take place? Tele-Leisurewho was able to attend the press conference, takes stock of the main information from this evening event.
Where and when do the 2025 Victoires de la Musique take place? Which channel to watch the ceremony on?
Like last year, in 2024, this 40th edition of the Victoires de la Musique will take place on Friday February 14, 2025 at the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt (venue of the festivities since 2018). The ceremony is obviously broadcast live and as a bonus on France 2 (and France Inter). For this special vintage, Cyril Giraudbit, director of France Télévisions antennas, promises “a media system of unprecedented scale” (as he pointed out at the press conference of the event at which Tele-Leisure was able to attend) and “complete: TV, digital, and social”. The france.tv platform broadcasts the event in real time, while social media accounts liven up the evening by bringing key moments to life.
Who is presenting the 40th edition of the Victoires de la Musique?
The 2024 tandem is renewed. Léa Salamé and Cyril Féraud are therefore back in action. The second nicely sums up having accepted again without hesitation: “We said yes”. The presenter of What an era! she said “very happy to be back for the second year”. Before continuing: “There aren’t many events that bring together everyone, from 7 to 77 years old”. It remains to be seen whether they will have unexpected moments in store for us like their romantic waltz to open the ball last year.
What method of voting for these 2025 Victories?
Here again, the voting system does not change from that established in 2024. The public therefore did not vote for the nominees. An Academy of voters made up of music professionals first established a large list. Before a joint jury of 32 members makes three choices in order of preference among 10 preselected in each category.
