Hubert Lenoir – Pay What You Care tour.

Hubert Lenoir was on the cover of les Inrocks & Le Monde France, Shortlisted for the Polaris music Prize, Praised by The Fader, I-D, Exclaim amongst many after releasing his 2018 debut Darlène. He has Performed at Red Bull Music Academy & has collaborated with Fashion label Ssense. Lately he has been working on a new record “Musique Directe” with a newly released single "Secret" a song ft" Mac Demarco & Kirin J. Callinan. The record, a sharp left turn from his debut that features contributions from artists like Kirin J Callinan, High Klassified, Mac Demarco and experimental punk band CRABE that feels just like Hubert’ live performances: an incredibly singular expression from one of the more unique creative minds in music today.

These performances will be accessible to people regardless of income or financial status and background with a “Pay What You Care” formula on this debut USA tour in support of “Musique Directe ''. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on what is required from artists in relation to their financial touring situation through each and every performance.
