Hardcore above Paris
Hysta made history as the first French artist to perform a hardcore set from the Eiffel Tower. The performance turned the iconic monument into a stage where underground music meets history.
The set opens with Little Things, Hysta’s brand-new reimagining of an iconic song from the Amélie Poulain soundtrack. Dreamy nostalgia collides with relentless kicks, merging elegance and raw aggression in a way only Hysta can – paying tribute to France while staying fiercely true to the underground.
The Heir of Hardcore
Born in Nantes and raised between French Brittany and a life at sea, Hysta has always carried her roots with her. From playing illegal raves at 16 to dominating the world’s biggest festival stages – Defqon.1, Thunderdome, Tomorrowland – she has become a worldwide ambassador for hardcore music. Her mantra is simple, yet powerful: “My heart belongs to hardcore”
Making the impossible reality
“It took almost two years to make it happen, all organized independently with no big production company”, Hysta says. “The day before, protests in France canceled many trains, and I almost
couldn’t reach Paris. (…) And against all odds, after days of predicted rain, the weather
cleared at the very last moment.”
With a small crew of close friends, Hysta turned a wild idea into a historic moment – proof that hardcore can rise anywhere, and that passion and persistence still matter in a world of big productions.
