Next show: Amsterdam, Wed 31 Mar
In 1998, Vive la Fête's debut EP Je Ne Veux Pas was released. Danny was still playing in dEUS and found in Vive la Fête the opportunity to create something together with his girlfriend Els. Not only the party scene was very charmed, the stylish duo was also well received in the fashion scene. It didn't take long before Vive la Fête played Karl Lagerfelt’s fashion shows all around the world. It went fast with Vive la Fête and Els and Danny were surrounded by extra musicians to grow into a fully-fledged live band. With Nuit Blanche (2003), Vive la Fête definitively established itself at the top of the electroclash genre. Thanks to hits like 'Maquillage', 'Touche pas' and the dark-manic 'Noir Désir'. The tenth anniversary of Vive la Fête was celebrated with 10 Ans de Fete, a compilation album that is still highly regarded today. From that moment on, the band releases its music independently on the Firme de Disque label. Vive la Fête continues to release new music and makes many trips around the world. The band is immensely popular in South America in particular and the roof is always blown away during tours through Europe. From 2018, Vive la Fête is completely independent. In addition to the physical album releases, the band also takes care of all digital distribution. For its 25th anniversary, Vive la Fete released the double live album LIVE on all platforms, cd and limited edition double vinyl.
