This Friday, November 1, 2024, the legendary French group Indochine, led by Nikola Sirkis, will take the stage of NRJ Music Awards at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. This event, presented by Nikos Aliagas and broadcast live on TF1 and NRJ, will celebrate its 26th edition. Already awarded three times in the past, the group is nominated in the “French-speaking group“, alongside Calema, Justice, Kyo and Shaka Ponk. During an interview with Nice-Morning and published today, Nikola Sirkis and his acolytes underlined the importance of the event for his fans, who are, according to them, the real reason for their presence. “The public votes. And in this case, receiving a prize is always honorary. (…) They are the ones who allow us to lead the life we have always dreamed of“, they assured.
A closeness that the members of the group do not find in other ceremonies, such as Music Victories. It is for this reason that Indochine decided to never participate in this show again. “What made us want to make music was not the fact of finding ourselves in competition“, said the members of the group, before adding: “People in the profession are not really our friends.“

Indochina: a great gift for the public
On January 28, Indochine will kick off their next tour, the Arena Tour, in Aix-en-Provence. Nikola Sirkis and his group took care to limit ticket prices, between 55 and 75 euros. They refuse to adopt the practices of certain artists who do not hesitate to inflate prices. “When you are an artist, normally you can control, if you want, the ticket prices“, revealed the singer still to Nice-Morningbefore concluding: “What is certain is that we will never want to do things like gold lawns and all kinds of VIP access.“A decision that will undoubtedly delight their fans.
