Yeah. I need an excuse to go back to Montreal, I'm hopelessly addicted to Schwartz's Smoked Meat. Please Lili!

Thats a good point. I'm actually a huge fan of Emilie Simon and I attended the Francofolies de Montreal last year, which is the largest French Music Festival in the world. The dates for the festival this year are from July 24 - August 3.

150 artists are going to announced on July 9. These will all be free outdoor concerts.

You would think Alizee would be asked to play this event. They would absolutely INSANE not to ask her. The only question really is, does RCA want to promote her to that market.

and this is the indoor lineup, which are paid concerts:

Yeah, I went to FrancoFolies in 2006 and it was amazing! One of my favorite discoveries there was French-Canadian singer Andrée Watters. I've often said Alizée should play the festival, it's a guaranteed audience since thousands of French music fans flock there anyway. She could even just appear in one of the free outdoor concerts briefly as a promotional thing. And pick up some Schwartz's. It's gorgeous!

Look at what it says there: 196 concerts, weeks sold out at the Olympia and Zenith, etc. Not that I don't think Lili could play a few shows here, it's just a bad example. Not at all in her bracket.

That's 1990, yes.

But her 2002 album "Piano Bar" only reached 10th place in France, and still : "six sellout concerts in the US" at that time.

After having cultivated that audience in the 90s. And even now I still think of Patricia Kaas as a much bigger artist than Alizée. Again, I'm not saying Lili can't do it. There are just much more appropriate examples.

I really hope she comes too NY soon because a summer show is so much more exilerating than something like beginning of the school year and such.

nightbug · #**138** 05-18-2008, 03:10 AM

Yes, NYC would be awesome. I'm hoping Alizee will do something in France in July. Cause I'm going to be in Paris from June 30 - July 30 for a study abroad program. What am I do if the US tour dates are scheduled in July???? I've been worried sick to my stomach about this.

Anyone here debating whether or not to go to France in Oct. or Mexico next month or just wait till she plays here.

They should just release the full tour schedule. This waiting is driving me CRAZY.

HelixSix · #**139** 05-18-2008, 03:58 AM

I don't think she would come here without at least a few months of marketing beforehand.

I would love to see Alizee at The Coachella Festival in April 2009. Check it out Coachella myspace and then do a little youtube for Coachella and see what Daft Punk and Bjork were up to. In 2008 Yelle even brought her French act to the stage, the crowd loved it. Alizee would rock the place! Or check it here
