NJP 2026: Clara Kimera, Vitaline, Pearly Drops
In 12 days
At the heart of Nancy Jazz Pulsations, a trend-spotting night awaits lovers of discovery under the Magic tent in the Pépinière: Vitaline's hybrid techno, Finland's Pearly Drops dream-pop and Clara Kimera's shoegaze-rap. Three worlds, one shared urge to surprise.
Three artists, three aesthetics
Vitaline (France) delivers techno and bass-music sets built for the club, played from Paris to Hong Kong. Pearly Drops (Finland), a Teosto Prize-winning duo, weaves indie-electronica with ethereal vocals and futuristic hues. Clara Kimera (France), first known with the band Agar Agar, blends hazy shoegaze and underground rap in a deeply personal solo project. Three distinct proposals, but one shared curiosity for the margins and the crossing of genres. The evening thus paints a portrait of today's emerging music, between dance, reverie and intensity.
Pearly Drops, dream-pop from the North
Coming from Finland, Pearly Drops sends a misty northern wind through the evening. The duo cultivates a dreamy pop with ethereal vocals, where contemporary electronica meets vintage textures and a diffuse nostalgia. Honoured with the prestigious Teosto Prize, one of the finest marks of recognition in the Nordic countries, the group has made a name for itself on European stages. Its immersive, enveloping music offers a striking contrast with the more frontal energy of the other artists of the night: a suspended, almost cottony moment, under the tent.
Clara Kimera and Vitaline, between rap and club
Clara Kimera, first known within the electro duo Agar Agar, pursues a bold solo path: her music weaves hazy shoegaze and underground rap, carried by a singular voice and intimate writing. In counterpoint, Vitaline embodies the energy of the dancefloor: her techno and bass-music sets, honed on international stages, carry the audience into a continuous pulse. Between the introspection of one and the trance of the other, the evening swings from one extreme to the other, true to the trend-spotting spirit of NJP, which likes to confront aesthetics the better to make them converse.
Under the Magic tent in the Pépinière park
This concert is part of the NJP line-up, the Nancy Jazz Pulsations festival, a benchmark for contemporary music in the Grand Est region. It takes place under the Magic tent set up in the Pépinière park, one of the festival's most beloved settings, only minutes from Place Stanislas. The atmosphere is festive and relaxed, among lawns, trees and the buzz of the festival. For travellers passing through Nancy in October, it is the ideal chance to taste the NJP atmosphere while discovering artists you don't hear everywhere. Booking via the official ticketing.
