The Lebanese rock band Adonis, known for its emotive lyrics and catchy melodies in the Lebanese dialect, is set to ignite European stages with a series of three highly anticipated concerts in Utrecht (Netherlands), London, and Paris from June 14 to 16.
Formed in 2011 by Anthony Adonis (vocals, keyboard) and Joey Abou Jawdeh (guitar), who were still pursuing their university studies in architecture at the time, the new band quickly gained recognition. The initial duo was joined by Nicola Hakim on drums and Gio Fikany on bass guitar, creating a unique musical harmony that allowed them to carve out a path on the international scene. Since its inception, Adonis has released six studio albums and played to sold-out crowds worldwide, including at the Roman amphitheater in Amman, Jordan, the Carthage International Festival in Tunisia, and the prestigious Baalbeck International Festival in Lebanon, as well as in Europe, notably at the Oyoun Theater in Berlin, the Cabaret Sauvage and the Arab World Institute in Paris.
Anthony Adonis, the band's leader, has also written and produced music for renowned Lebanese artists such as Hiba Tawaji and Dana Hourani, further cementing Adonis' influence on the Lebanese music scene. In addition to its musical success, Adonis has established collaborations with globally renowned organizations and platforms. The band has worked with UNICEF to promote humanitarian causes, and its music has been featured in Netflix productions. They have also collaborated with Brazilian television network Globo TV, enabling them to reach international audiences.
The band owes its international success to its ability to address universal themes while staying true to its roots. Written in the Lebanese dialect, their songs tackle profound and universal themes such as identity and nostalgia. Tracks like "Yeb'a Enna" and "Al Khafif" have become anthems in the Arab-speaking world, resonating particularly with those who share the experiences of diaspora and cultural belonging.
European Tour This Summer
To the delight of their expatriate fans, Adonis will be performing live in three major European cities. On June 14, the Lebanese rock band will take the stage for the first time at the Tivoli Vredenburg concert hall in Utrecht, Netherlands. The band will continue its European tour with a concert in London on June 15 at Lafayette London, before heading to Paris. Presented by Mir'a, an artistic association aimed at promoting artists from the Middle East and North Africa, the Parisian concert on June 16 at the Palais de Tokyo promises an unforgettable musical evening.
This European tour in June 2024 is an exceptional opportunity for fans to experience live a band that has reinvented the contemporary Lebanese music scene. Through Adonis, music becomes a bridge between cultures and generations. To book the last tickets, click here: https://tix.to/adonis
