Madeon brings 'Victory Live' and Anamanaguchi to Big Night Live on Friday

The French producer's angriest, fastest record yet reaches Boston near the end of a 31-date run, with Anamanaguchi in support.

For a decade the easy word for Madeon was "bright." His new record goes for something louder, and on Friday Boston gets to hear how it sounds in a room.

Madeon plays Big Night Live on Friday, Nov. 13, with the show starting at 9 p.m. New York's Anamanaguchi is on the bill as support. Tickets are on Ticketmaster. The room holds about 1,200, which is about as close as you'll get to this production on this run. Boston comes the night after Philadelphia, as the tour heads into its final week.

The show is billed as Victory Live, built around Madeon's third album, Victory, released June 26. It's his first album in seven years and the follow-up to the Grammy-nominated *Good Faith*, as EDM.com noted. It's also a sharp turn. EDM.com called it "angrier, faster and more cathartic than anything we've heard from Madeon in quite some time," and framed it as the necessary counterpart to *Good Faith*: what happens after that album's hard-won optimism falls apart. EDM Identity went further, describing a record that heads into hyper-punk while grappling with what it means to declare victory at all.

Angrier, faster and more cathartic than anything we've heard from Madeon in quite some time.

The album was announced alongside a collaboration with Slayyyter, per Pulse. The tour that followed is a 31-date North American run that opened in Portland on Sept. 24 and closes in Chicago on Nov. 21, according to EDM Tunes and EDM.com. By the time it reaches Boston, the show will have had seven weeks of road on it.

The support slot is a good match. Anamanaguchi has spent years building a following on hyperactive, high-gloss electronic pop, and the band arrives with fresh material of its own. It released the single and video "Sucker Punch" at the end of October, per mxdwn, and has been running a separate fall co-headlining tour with Covet around its dates with Madeon. Get there early; this is not a filler opener.

A few practical notes. Big Night Live sits at the edge of the TD Garden complex, so if there's a home game or another Garden event that night, give yourself extra time getting in and out of North Station. A 9 p.m. show time on a Friday means a late finish for anyone heading back on the commuter rail. Buy through the Ticketmaster link above rather than resale.

Boston has turned out for Madeon before, and the crowd that sang along to the *Good Faith* shows is the same crowd this record is testing. Whether the new, harder sound works live is the question Friday answers. A sold-out-feeling room of 1,200 is a good place to find out.
