Memories, memories. In the new documentary Netflix on Avicii “I’m Tim”, released on Tuesday December 31, 2024, images of the Pink City slipped through.

Through the scenario which retraces the life of the famous Swedish DJ Avicii, who killed himself at the age of 28, director Henrick Burman, introduced a little over 50 seconds of archival footage tours in Toulouse.

Almost a minute of Toulouse at the start of the film

And no need to wait until the very end of the film to savor this moment. Between two interviews with relatives and after arriving by car in front of the Chaptersa big “Good evening Toulouse!” Are you ready for Avicii? » resonates at the beginning (almost) of the feature film.

Because it is during his first tour that the artist set up his turntables in the Haut-Garonne capital. In its beginnings.

When Avicii mixed at La Dune

Notice to connoisseurs and nostalgics. The Swede, who was then 20 years old, had performed at the nightclub The Dune– the current Arena, Editor’s note -, in Sesquières. The archive filmed by Christos Selman (the winner at the time of the competition to shoot the music video for “Alcoholic”) can still be found online, on Avicii’s YouTube account.

On the Inox Festival program

Images that offer a real leap in time… We have to go back to the Saturday May 8, 2010 to see the little genius of the turntables in Toulouse. The Stockholmer was a guest at the sixth edition of theInox Festivala real electro event, at the time, imagined by the former boss of La Dune.

Avicii then mixed in front of 8,000 people, alongside big names like David Guetta, Martin Solveig and Chris Liebing. A sign that he would indeed become a great one. He even returned the following year, again at the Inox Festival.

Enough to delight the people of Toulouse, proud, surely, to have received the one who, despite his disappearance in 2018, continues to make the entire planet dance with his titles.
