Shaka Ponk in concert at the Accor Arena in Paris: what's the opening act?

This autumn, Shaka Ponk will be playing no less than four sold-out concerts at the Accor Arena in Paris. Before the band's powerful songs hit the stage, fans can warm up with an opening act. So, who is it? Who will have the honor of taking to the stage at the Accor Arena in Paris on November 27, 28, 29 and 30, 2024, just before Shaka Ponk arrives? We tell you all about it!

Shaka Ponk fans know it. The end of the band's farewell tour, entitled"The Final F*cked Up Tour", is drawing ever closer. In autumn 2022, the rock band announced that the"Shaka Ponk" album (released in 2023) would be their last, and that a final tour would accompany it. The members of the band had explained that they wanted to leave music behind to devote themselves in particular to the ecological cause. From the outset, Shaka Ponk have always been committed to the environment. Most recently, the group has been sending out messages calling for the release of Paul Watson. The founder of Sea Shepherd is currently imprisoned in Greenland and threatened with extradition to Japan.

Since the announcement of this final tour, Shaka Ponk have been playing a series of concerts across France and at festivals. Frah, Sam and the others are due to play their final Paris concerts this autumn. The dates are November 27, 28, 29 and 30, 2024, at theAccor Arena. Unfortunately for latecomers, these shows are sold out.

Shaka Ponk's farewell tour: a fourth concert at Paris' Accor Arena in 2024
Extensions for "The Final Fucked Up Tour", Shaka Ponk's farewell tour! While three concerts have already been scheduled at Paris' Accor Arena on Thursday November 28, Friday November 29 and Saturday November 30, 2024, the band is adding a new, fourth date, on Wednesday November 27, again at the same venue in the capital's 12th arrondissement.

We imagine that these final Shaka Ponk concerts in Paris will be an opportunity to (re)discover live several of the band's must-have tracks, such as " Wanna Get Free ", " J'aime pas les gens ", " Je m'avance ", " Tout le monde danse ", " Dad'Algorhythm " and not forgetting " I'm Picky ".

But before pogoing and circle pits in the pit to the rhythm of Shaka Ponk's powerful songs, fans at theAccor Arena in Paris will be treated to an opening act. So, who is it? Who has been chosen to warm up the 12th arrondissement venue before the French band takes to the stage? None other than Nova Twins will have the onerous task of bringing theAccor Arena to life during these four Parisian concerts.

If you were at Hellfest in 2019 or 2024, or Rock en Seine in 2023, then you're bound to know Nova Twins. A British band formed in London in 2014, Nova Twins owe their reputation in particular to the explosive energy of their two frontwomen: Georgia South on bass and Amy Love on vocals.

Today, Nova Twins is at the helm of two opuses,"Who Are the Girls?", released in 2020, and"Supernova", out in 2022. Influenced by the powerful sound of Rage Against The Machine and Prophets Of Rage, Nova Twins distill a delicious blend of rock, punk and hip hop. Live, they get audiences up and dancing with their boundless energy, which is undeniably infectious.

Proof of its renown, Nova Twins has already supported the likes of Wolf Alice, Skunk Anansie and Prophets of Rage.

This autumn, the British Nova Twins will be opening for Shaka Ponk. We imagine that Georgia South and Amy Love, accompanied for the occasion by their drummer, will take advantage of the opportunity to swing their powerful songs like " Bassline B*tch ", " Cleopatra ", " Choose Your Fighter ", " Hit Girl ", " Taxi ", " Puzzles " as well as " Vortex " and " Antagonist ".

If you haven't heard of them yet, get ready to hop wildly on November 27, 28, 29 and 30, 2024 at the Accor Arena in Paris, opening for Shaka Ponk!
