Like Amir, Jean-Louis AubertKendji Girac or London Grammar on the other side of the Channel, Indochine is also going back to school. This Saturday, September 7, the group will end its longest silence on the discography (seven years!) by releasing its new album “Babel Babel”. A few days before the release of the project, the band has revealed the tracklist of this double album, which will contain 17 songs including two duets, and its imposing cover designed by David Lachapelle. If Indochine has not yet spoken publicly, it released the first single “Le chant des cygnes” in mid-June, which got off to a great start in the charts, while the album “Babel Babel” entered number one in pre-orders on Fnac and Amazon.

Two concerts at Bercy!
On July 13, Indochine ratcheted up the excitement by posting a photo of the members’ silhouettes with iconic monuments like the Atomium in Brussels in the background. That was all it took to make the public understand that a new tour was about to be announced. It’s now done, two months later! Indeed, at the end of the “Babel Show” show, broadcast this Friday evening on TMC and where 10 new songs from the album are presented, Indochine will announce the dates of its new event tour, called the “Arena Tour”. Three years after breaking stadium attendance records with the “Central Tour”, Nicola Sirkis and his acolytes are setting off again to storm the biggest Zeniths in France.
As already revealed by Ticketmaster, the launch of Indochine’s “Arena Tour” is scheduled for January 31, 2025 at the Arena du Pays d’Aix. Subsequently, the group will stop in Orléans, Amnéville, Douai, Dijon, Lyon, Lille, Rouen, and Bordeaux between February and June. For Paris, Indochine has announced two concert events at the Accor Arena for June 20 and 21, 2025. Concerts are also planned in Brussels and Lausanne but have not yet been made official. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on Saturday, September 14 at 10 a.m., and there’s no doubt that everything should sell out in a few hours! In terms of scenography, according to Nicola Sirkis, we can expect a stage in the same spirit as the TMC show: ” We found a system so that no one is visually disadvantaged. We can’t have a central stage everywhere but it’s a bit like the idea of having people around us like for the TMC concert “. The opportunity to hear once again the emblematic hits of the group, from “L’aventurier” to “Nos fêteurs” via “J’ai demande à la lune”, “Trois nuits par semaine” or “3ème sexe”, as well as the new pieces “Le chant des cygnes”, “Victoria”, “Sanna sur la croix” or “Tokyo Boy”.
