The Monumental Tour concept is a tour that blends electronic music, heritage, and digital art, through stunning visual concerts, establishing bridges between the past and the future to offer a contemporary vision of our monuments. It aims to democratize electronic music by showcasing it in unconventional locations. Honored at the Institut de France and supported by the French National Commission for UNESCO, this project has also received acclaim in prestigious heritage sites such as the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey and the Palais Royal.

Following the success of five “sold-out” shows for his Monumental Tour, including performances at Place Stanislas in Nancy, France in front of more than 22,000 people and the first date of the project in Italy at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa in front of more than 10,000 people, Michael Canitrot, concludes the year 2023 with this unprecedented performance at the heart of the Eiffel Tower.

During this exceptional show, Michael Canitrot will showcase an enchanting DJ set, weaving between melodic techno and progressive house, reflecting his recent concerts. He will highlight his new track “CHANGE,” created in collaboration with the house music legend Roland Clark, set to be released this Friday, December 15, along with the compilation “CYCLE.” This compilation, featuring 10 tracks, recounts two years of musical production inspired by the exceptional shows of the Monumental Tour.

The show will also feature a spectacular lighting display in the Tower and performances by guest artists, including the “Spectre” choir, Yana Mann – mezzo-soprano singer, Abblaye Diop – a contemporary dancer passionate about electronic music, and Yann Dulché – a pianist merging electro beats with classical notes. Award-winning french actor Philippe Torreton will lend his voice to Gustave Eiffel, providing a moving interpretation to guide the audience through this auditory and visual journey.

This original creation offers a fresh perspective on the monument, paying tribute to the boldness and creative genius of Gustave Eiffel. The broadcast of the show “Monumental Tour celebrates Eiffel” will take place on December 27, 2023, the anniversary of Gustave Eiffel’s passing, at 9:00 PM as a premiere on Michael Canitrot’s and the Eiffel Tower’s YouTube and Facebook pages, before its television airing on the french TV channel CSTAR at 10:50 PM. With a duration of 50 minutes, the program will later be broadcast on C8 and available for replay on MyCanal, the platform for Canal+ group channels.

This year, EXIT created its own unique Universe, where the audience was as important as the world’s leading performers who all brought their A-game. It is renowned as a place where everyone is free to be themselves, to embrace happiness and believe we can really make a change in the world.

“This moment will send an echo reverberating eon after eon” said motivational speaker Aubrey Marcus during the festival’s opening, and as anticipation builds for the festival’s next edition, take a glimpse into its universe through the official aftermovie.

This year’s EXIT was further enriched by an emotional reunion with the iconic band The Prodigy, a celebration of 50 years of hip-hop with the greatest rap group of all time, Wu-Tang Clan, and stellar permeations brought by Skrillex, Eric Prydz, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Alesso, Nina Kraviz, Indira Paganotto, Amelie Lens, Keinemusik, Viagra Boys, and many others, along with each and every individual in the crowd who shined bright and united in messages of love and freedom.

All attention now turns to next year’s edition which will once again be an unforgettable coming together of love, music, good people and world-class production!

According to an interview by Billboard, Alex Noyer noted that the film started production with Noyer, director Alexander Dunn and Arthur Baker heading to Winter Music Conference in March 2012.

In October 2014, Alex Noyer’s You Know Films, Atlantic Films and record producer and DJ Arthur Baker announced the film, as well as its soundtrack and remix album to be released as well by Big Beat/Atlantic Records. On November 15, 2016, You Know Films and Atlantic Films, a division of Atlantic Records, announced the film’s release through Apple Music as well as the release of a new trailer.
