Metronomy brought their signature blend of quirky synth-pop and infectious indie-dance energy to the celebrated French festival, Vieilles Charrues, in the summer of 2022. Performing on one of France's biggest musical stages, the British band delivered a set that perfectly captured the joyful, open-air atmosphere of the event, held in Carhaix.
Led by the creative force of Joseph Mount, Metronomy has built a reputation for live shows that are both stylishly choreographed and genuinely fun. Their music, which cleverly mixes elements of electronic pop, funk, and new wave, translates into a compelling live experience. The band’s flawless performance and the dynamic energy of bassist Olugbenga Adelekan and the rest of the ensemble are often highlighted by fans and critics as key elements of their appeal. This concert was a prime example, showcasing tracks that get the crowd moving and singing along, creating a feeling of unfiltered joy and communal celebration.
At Vieilles Charrues, the group presented songs from their then-recent album "Small World," an introspective yet engaging record that solidified their status as a benchmark in the electro-pop scene. The performance was a testament to their enduring appeal, effortlessly blending newer material with beloved classics, and proving once again why Metronomy remains a must-see act on the international festival circuit.
