ALCEST @ RETHYMNO ROCKS! #6

After their amazing 2024 performance in Athens, the French pioneers of Blackgaze return to Greece for a special headline show at Rethymno Rocks! #6! The band of multi-instrumentalist Stéphane Hugues Norbert Paut – widely known as Neige – will take to the Hill Stage of Fortezza in one of their last stops as part of the major European summer festivals tour of 2026 for the promotion of their latest enchanting seventh album “Les Chants de l’Aurore”, which is considered as one of the most important moments in their career so far. Neige and Winterhalter march steadily on the ethereal musical paths they have carved out since 2005’s “Le Secret”, treading firmly and in perfect balance between Shoegaze and Black Metal, in a unique “marriage” between extremity and dreamy soundscapes. Alcest are destined to immerse you in a transcendental musical experience inside the Castle walls, filled with technical excellence and emotion, bringing Black Metal out of the shadows and merging it uniquely with contemplative, ethereal atmospheres…
