Nouvelle Vague the renowned bossa nova project founded by Marc Collin, a skilled musician, composer, and producer along with the late Olivier Libaux (Les Objets and Uncovered QOTSA), announce their 2025 worldwide tour to celebrate 21 years since the release of their seminal first album, alongside the launch of their new exciting LP featuring some very special guests, to coincide with their 15 live dates featuring two shows at London’s iconic venue Koko.
Nouvelle Vague has cultivated an ever-evolving sound by hosting a rotating cast of talented female vocalists, including the likes of Camille, Elodie Frege, Melanie Pain, Phoebe Kildeer along with American actress, singer and musician Juliette Lewis and actress, model and singer Vanessa Paradis, who have seamlessly made these vintage tunes their own through their emotive interpretations and personal flair. Beyond their work with Nouvelle Vague, these vocalists have gone on to pursue a variety of other creative projects and collaborations. Yet they frequently return to guest with the collective, drawn back by the invigorating experience of reinterpreting timeless songs alongside such a talented group of musicians.
The group’s first two albums, Nouvelle Vague (2004) and Bande A Part (2006) defined their unique sound with Bossa versions of New Wave Classics. Their third album NV3 (2009) featured collaborations with Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, Ian McCulloch from Echo and the Bunnymen, Terry Hall from The Specials and Barry Adamson.
Further acclaimed albums were released in 2010, 2016 and 2019 and the band have performed to rapturous audiences worldwide throughout their 19 year career.
Their 2025 worldwide tour celebrates 21 years since the release of their seminal first album alongside the launch of their next classic, timed to coincide with their UK Tour dates.
