French electronic duo Justice played two sold-out shows at Paris’s Accor Arena (Bercy) on December 17 and 18, 2024, to celebrate their 20th anniversary. With a monumental staging and a perfect setlist, the shows are widely seen as among the best live electronic performances of the year.
When French electronic duo Justice announced two exceptional dates at the Accor Arena on December 17 and 18, expectations were huge. After years off the road, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay returned to the stage for what was billed as “their most ambitious show,” celebrating the duo’s 20 years. Now that these two legendary sold-out nights are behind us, it’s fair to ask whether we witnessed the best live performances of 2024.
A monumental staging
From the first notes of “Genesis,” the intensity was palpable. The stage (a monumental cross surrounded by LED walls displaying hypnotic visuals) was breathtaking. Each track became a genuine sensory experience, with millimetre-perfect lighting and sound quality that exceeded all expectations.
A first-class warm-up
Before Justice took the stage, the night had already started strong with an opening set from iconic artists. Kavinsky, known for his hit “Nightcall,” delivered a memorable set, joined by other artists from the legendary Ed Banger Records label, including label boss Busy P himself.
A perfect setlist
The duo struck the perfect balance between nostalgia and modernity. Classics like “D.A.N.C.E.,” “We Are Your Friends” and “Stress” rang out with renewed energy, while newer tracks from their latest album “Hyperdrama” confirmed their status as global electronic pioneers. The finale on “Phantom Pt. II” literally shook the walls of the arena.
A communion with the crowd
Several times, Gaspard and Xavier took time to interact with the crowd, warmly thanking fans for their loyalty. These concerts weren’t just a technical performance, but a genuine dialogue with a community that has followed them from the start.
A world tour not to be missed
After these two triumphant Paris nights, Justice’s world tour continued, with stops in London, Berlin, Tokyo and New York through early 2025, confirming once again their status as live legends.
