Madeon & Daft Punk Music Lights Up Eiffel Tower For Bastille Day

In the absence of a long-awaited Daft Punk reunion, a stunning display of 1,000 drones brought their music to life in Paris, the iconic duo’s hometown, this past weekend. However, this was not the only Electronic music act that was featured on Bastille Day 2024.

Following America’s Independence Day celebrations, where fireworks often result in mishaps, French citizens similarly celebrate Bastille Day, marking a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. Although this annual holiday always features grand festivities across France, 2024 was particularly special as the country prepares to host the Summer Olympics in Paris in just under two weeks. On Sunday night, the city orchestrated a spectacular fireworks display enhanced by 1,000 drones around the Eiffel Tower. With a rich legacy of Electronic music talents like Gesaffelstein, Justice, Kavinsky, and Jean-Michel Jarre, the event organizers had a wealth of musical choices. They ultimately selected tracks by Daft Punk and contemporary Dance music star Madeon.

Madeon’s ‘You’re On‘ from his 2015 debut album Adventure played during a segment where the drones formed a running figure holding a heart. The drones also morphed into the Paris 2024 Olympic Games logo, accompanied by Daft Punk’s 2013 single ‘Contact’ from their final album, Random Access Memories.
