Peaches

Here’s an artist who fears nothing. Provocation doesn’t faze her, shaking up minds delights her, and getting her audience dancing gives her incomparable pleasure. A feminist icon, a pillar of the electroclash scene and a fervent champion of LGBTQ+ rights, Peaches hadn’t released an album since 2015 and is finally making her big return this year with No Lube So Rude, a radical work that rekindles the fire. Based in Berlin for the past two decades, the Canadian artist treats her concerts as full-blown happenings where anything goes and everyone is free to be themselves. She notably takes on ageism with humour, embracing the effects of ageing on her body. Theatrical makeup, extravagant outfits, provocative poses: her liberating energy roars through the mind like a powerful engine.
