Experience the Magic of Electro Merveilles in Melbourne
Electro Merveilles is set to take over the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC) this October, transforming it into an enchanting 360-degree immersive electronic music experience. Combining music, light, digital art, and monumental projections, this event promises to be a feast for the senses, inviting attendees into a world where art and sound coalesce.
A Grand Opening: Château Merveilles
Before the captivating beats take center stage, the festivities will kick off with Château Merveilles on Thursday, October 22nd. This immersive French dinner-show will set the tone for the weekend, welcoming 1,000 lucky attendees to a luxurious experience filled with projections, performances, and a sumptuous four-course gala dinner. Guests will be transported from the heart of Melbourne to the opulence of Versailles, celebrating French culture in a way that is both festive and sophisticated.
An Immersive Party: Electro Merveilles
Following the exquisite dining experience, Electro Merveilles will have its two-night run on Friday, October 23rd, and Saturday, October 24th. This event will feature an electrifying lineup, headlined by the renowned French DJ Tchami and beloved Australian electronic artist Tigerlily. Both nights will serve as a showcase of musical prowess, bringing together artists from both France and Australia within a fully immersive visual landscape.
A 360-Degree Dancefloor Experience
The MCEC will be reimagined as a vast dancefloor enveloped in 4,100m² of stunning immersive visuals. Expect breathtaking monumental video mapping, dynamic lighting installations, and scenography that sprawls around the partygoers. The venue’s architecture will be utilized to its fullest, featuring two 88-metre-long walls and two 34-metre walls, wrapping the audience in a sea of vibrant imagery. Above, projections will soar 17 metres high, creating an almost ethereal five-storey experience of dynamic artistry.
Images depicting iconic French scenery, including the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles and picturesque Paris rooftops, will be seamlessly interwoven with real-time visual mixes that pulse along with the music. You won’t just be watching a performance; you’ll be stepping into a vivid celebration of culture and art.
Meet the Stars: Tchami and Tigerlily
At the heart of this innovative lineup is Tchami, a French producer known for his contributions to the future house genre. His dynamic energy and internationally recognized style have made a significant impact on the global electronic music scene. Joining him will be Tigerlily, an Australian DJ known for her electrifying beats and engaging performances.
Both artists will light up the stage alongside Fred B Side, a seasoned French DJ connected to the 1990s rave movement who will bring a taste of Parisian club culture to the lineup. Friday’s performances will also feature other Australian talents, including Alex Hosking and Tyson O’Brien, both of whom have made significant strides in the country’s electronic music landscape.
