Australian psychedelic rock titans Wolfmother unleashed a torrent of raw, vintage-inspired energy at the Cabaret Vert festival in Charleville-Mézières, France, back in 2016. From the moment they hit the stage, the trio, led by the unmistakable and charismatic Andrew Stockdale, delivered a performance steeped in the powerful traditions of 70s hard rock and blues. The set was a blistering journey through their acclaimed catalog, reaffirming their status as modern pillars of the psychedelic scene.
Formed in the mid-2000s, Wolfmother quickly gained a global following for a sound that channels the colossal riffs of Led Zeppelin and the raw garage-rock intensity of The White Stripes. This performance was a perfect showcase of that identity, with Stockdale's soaring vocals cutting through layers of fuzzy, distorted guitar. The band powered through fan favorites like the relentless "Woman," the epic "White Unicorn," and the anthemic "Joker & The Thief." The setlist also featured powerful tracks from their then-recent album "Victorious," demonstrating their continued ability to craft compelling, high-octane rock anthems.
Captured by ARTE Concert, this show highlights a band in its element: on a festival stage, connecting with a massive crowd through pure sonic force. It’s a testament to their enduring appeal, delivering a potent and electrifying experience for any fan of authentic, riff-driven rock and roll.
