Cerrone Disco Symphonic
At the beginning of 1977, one of the greatest titles of Cerrone, Love In C Minor, became an instant classic of New York dance floors thanks to… a delivery of maxi singles made by mistake in the Unites-States by a record shop owner working on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. The 25-year-old drummer and singer-songwriter did not know that the piece, which will be used as a title for his first album, was already making people dance. He also could not predict that Love In C Minor and immediately after the unforgettable songs “Supernature” and “Give Me Love” will set the pace to what will be soon called euro disco. Those pieces paved the royal way for several generations of groove leaders carrying proudly the French flag, twenty years later, on the journey to the triumph of the French Touch, of which Cerrone is the unquestionable pioneer. With the orchestra of the regionally influential Lyon's Conservatoire, his timeless music, which is still fascinating, will resonate in an unprecedented symphonic way, as if a giant disco ball was rotating above 7000 dancers who will definitely be overwhelmed with joy when they will rediscover the magic of the golden age of disco in Cerrone’s style, which became universal in the meantime.

Kyoto Jazz Massive
Disco, house, electro-funk, acid jazz… Kyoto Jazz Massive (KJM) is back on stage, after 15 years of absence, to celebrate three decades of electronic experiments with funk, soul and jazz. Created in the 90s by the brothers Shuya and Yoshi Okino, this visionary duo was first well known for its DJ sets before defining a modern and cosmopolitan jazz, blending electronic rhythms, Japanese influences and prestigious collaborations. Supported by the famous DJ Gilles Peterson and the great German label Compost records since the 2000s, KJM chooses Jazz à Vienne 2026 to crown its 30-year career. Accompanied for this extraordinary concert by the overexcited musicians of the Parisian funk ensemble Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra (EOANDO aka Jéroboam) and the British singer Vanessa Freeman, Shuya Okino promise a spectacular night where frantic grooves, feverish rhythms and disco textures intertwine, radiating with resonating chorus in chiaroscuro. It is a key concert for the fans of hybrid and vibrating music, which is able to fire nightclubs but also the stages of great festivals.
