Another kick-ass international band has been added to the line-up of the upcoming Urbanscapes 2016 event. Guess who?
It is the Grammy Award-nominated French electronic band, M83!
Named after the spiral galaxy Messier 83, M83 was started out as a duo consisting of Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau, but the duo parted ways in 2004 shortly after touring for their second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. Despite being a one-man band now, M83 has steadily garnered worldwide recognition through some of their albums including Before the Dawn Heals Us (2005), Saturdays = Youth (2008) and the critically acclaimed Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (2011), which was nominated for “Best Alternative Music Album” at the 2013 Grammy Awards. M83 has performed at major festivals around the world, including Lollapalooza, Coachella, and St Jerome’s Laneway, so their upcoming show at KL Live Malaysia this May 7 is definitely one not to be missed!
Tickets for M83 concert at KL Live can be purchased at ticketpro.com.my from February 22 onwards. For further information on URBANSCAPES 2016, do check out their official website.
