Nouvelle Vague brings their signature bossa nova and easy listening covers of post-punk and new wave classics to Edinburgh. The French band, known for transforming iconic songs with sultry female vocals and Latin syncopation, will perform a set that includes their celebrated takes on Depeche Mode, Joy Division, The Cure, and more.
Attendees can expect a sophisticated, laid-back atmosphere as the eight-piece ensemble reimagines familiar tracks with a breezy, cinematic flair.

This concert offers a unique opportunity to hear new wave anthems recontextualized in a lush, acoustic setting. With a rotating cast of vocalists and a repertoire that spans the genre's greatest hits, Nouvelle Vague promises an evening of elegant, unexpected musical reinterpretations.
