Music news

For its 20th anniversary, Justice ignited the Accor Arena with two concerts mixing their iconic hits in an energy that swept through fans and celebrities present.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the Accor Arena in Bercy vibrated to the rhythm of the electrifying sounds of Justice. Fans, dressed in black bombers and t-shirts emblazoned with the duo's famous cross, gathered in their thousands for these concerts which mark two decades of success. Among them, celebrities such as Louane, Pierre de Maere and footballer Djibril Cissé.

For two hours, a succession of emblematic artists, from Busy P to Kavinsky transformed the stage into a veritable festival of“Avengers of the dance floor”. Here are the three moments that marked this explosive evening:

1. “Genesis”

The Justice concert opened in apotheosis with “Genesis”, plunging the Accor Arena into an atmosphere combining the solemnity of an electronic mass and the effervescence of a nightclub in trance. More than 17 years after its release, this iconic title continues to captivate crowds.

2. “Stress”

After a setlist mixing Justice's first hits and pieces from their latest album “Hyperdrama”, released this year, the duo intensified hostilities with “Stress”. As impactful as its cult video, in which men plunge Paris into chaos, the song set the room on fire. Carried by a hypnotic play of lights, the pit transformed into a whirlwind of pogo balls and sweat-soaked t-shirts.

3. “DANCE”

As usual, Justice revisited his songs in a live version, skillfully mixing several emblematic titles throughout the concert. One thing is certain: the public knew “DANCE” inside out, true generational anthems. From the first notes, a wave of nostalgia overwhelmed the room, transporting an entire generation into the festive and carefree memories of their adolescence. “I almost cried, it was so beautiful”shared singer Pierre de Maere. “Best show at Bercy of my life”he concluded on this title.
