Dada Life. Wouldnโ€™t call them a band just a DJ pair. Only one of them played, but the show he put on was incredible. He had all of the things to keep your hands on the air. He was throwing out beach balls, big blowup bananas (which I managed to keep one and he signed it after the show), big balloons and had a big flag that he had the crowd hold up over their heads, he also handed out pillows for a pillow fight we did.

"A". New-wave metal punk. They supported The Offspring back in 2000 when they were touring and blew them completely out of the water (and The Offspring are GREAT live too) and they have been my favourite band ever since.

I HIGHLY recommend their album "Monkey Kong" with some decent headphones.

Massilia Sound System. Crowd is basically in a state of plasma from beginning to loooooong after the show ends. When it's set on the port, you can be sure some of us will launch ourselves in the oily water for the hell of it, come back and slippery dance some more. At the start of every show they distribute a platter of pastis shots in the pit. It's not a band, it's a culture. A generation

Quite a few:

  • Underworld
  • Chemical Brothers
  • Beastie Boys
  • Black Grape
  • Puressence
  • Songhoy Blues
  • Pulp
  • Alabama 3
  • Jim White
  • Portishead
  • Beth Gibbons (of Portishead, but solo)
  • Kog and the Zongo Brigade

Probably a few others :-)

Polysics. Great energy.

Not a band, but a DJ, Jake Beautyman, April 2024 in Sรฃo Paulo. He started his set with the Severance OST and was a banger song after song. Still think about that party today

I saw "No Men" play a tiny show and it's still one of my favorites. They put on a great show and also they were super friendly with everyone in the crowd. I saw them another time after at a bigger venue and they even remembered me and my friend.
