Hélène Barbier announces international tour and unveils new music video for Marcel
Singer and bassist Hélène Barbier unveils a music video blending animation and live footage for Marcel, a song that bridges pop sensibility and no wave dissonance. Taken from the album Panorama, released in November 2025 on Bonsound, the track explores bureaucratic mazes, paperwork, and waiting. The Montreal-based artist is also announcing a tour of over twenty dates across the United States, Canada, and France.
In addition to performing at the Sled Island Festival in Calgary on June 20, the FEQ in Quebec City on July 12, and Goner Fest in Memphis on September 27, the musician will be visiting Toronto, Brooklyn, Chicago, Paris, and more. See the list below for all the dates.
