Mélanie Pain (FR)

2026-03-28T17:30:00.000Z

Mélanie Pain has been the iconic voice of Nouvelle Vague for the past 20 years, all the while building a unique solo career that blends pop, folk, and intimate poetry. After three critically acclaimed albums renowned for their delicacy, she is back with How and Why, a luminous and stripped-back fourth album.

Schedule

Rooted in raw folk, the album brings acoustic guitar and voice to the forefront - stripped of frills, intimate and direct. That unmistakable voice: soft, deep, and effortlessly elegant. Recorded live with her longtime bandmates, it draws inspiration from Kings of Convenience, Iron & Wine and Emilíana Torrini.

Nine tracks in English, weaving between emotion, melancholy, and rebirth - including an hypnotic duet with Brian Lopez (Calexico) and a sensual cover of Turkish rock band Duman.

A soothing, sunlit album - the perfect setting for Mélanie’s voice and words.

On tour starting September 2025.

Location

A38 Ship

Converted from a coal-mining ship, the A38 is easily Budapest's most unique concert venue. The belly of the ship has been home to a wide range of live and electronic music for almost 20 years, and when it's full you can feel the rhythmic movement of the partygoers making waves in the Danube. Foreign acts often refer to it afterwards as their favourite club.
