Declan McKenna's explosive concert at Badaboum!
On the evening of June 1st, the atmosphere was hot at the Badaboum with an overexcited audience which was confirmed as soon as Declan McKenna entered the stage with a delirious crowd! The first notes of Isombard resonate and the people present that evening are already starting to dance! The show then continues with the hit Bethlehem which ends with a thank you from Declan McKenna to his audience and the reminder of the upcoming release of his album What Do You Think About The Car?.
Declan McKenna continued his concert with a song from his first album: Make Me Your Queen ! The young British followed with Basic, a title from his first EP Stains. The young Briton thanked, with a smile on his face, his audience once again! Then he added that he was going to play a new song : Mind and the people present on this evening of June 1st were conquered!
The concert continued with another unreleased track entitled Listen To Your Friends before continuing with Brew, a song that the public knew since it appears on his EP Stains. Suddenly, Declan McKenna asked his audience if they were ready to dance, and the answer was made without waiting with many shouts of joy! It was then that the first notes of The Kids Don't want to Come Home sounded. During this title, the whole audience sang in chorus to the delight of the young British who even launched into a guitar solo with his band.
Before continuing his concert with an unreleased track Why Do You Feel So Down, Declan McKenna said that he was having a lot of fun like the audience that night! He then thanked his first GIRLI part saying that it was his last date on his tour with him! He then continued his concert with Paracetamol where we were even treated to a release of cotillions, and a Declan McKenna who proudly carried the French flag.
Declan McKenna thanked his audience for coming tonight to the Badaboum but was also grateful for our kindness each time he came to Paris. He informed us then that he was going to interpret the title Humongous whose clip will be released soon. Then came the end of the concert with his hit Brazil that the audience knew by heart to the point that Declan McKenna held out his microphone to let his fans sing. The atmosphere had reached its peak: the audience sang at the top of their lungs, clapped their hands with the singer before the latter launched himself with his band into a musical solo! Declan McKenna thanked his audience, shook hands in the front row before throwing himself into the crowd and letting himself be carried away by the crowd before leaving the stage.
On the evening of June 1st, Declan McKenna proved at the Badaboum that despite his young age, he had everything of a great with his committed titles and a performance on stage brimming with energy that we are not ready to forget. Then the British singer will have unveiled songs from his upcoming first opus What Do You Think About The Car?, and now we are more than eager to be on August 25 to be able to listen to it on repeat!
