Roi Soleil le Bal!
Party night with Frenglish pop & a dash of queer glitter
Roi Soleil (NL), IZAE (FR) + DJ Darling Peter / Hoax le beau
Roi Soleil le Bal! is a Rotterdam party night in Roodkapje with French singer-songwriter IZAE as support act and DJ afterparty. What would a royal ball à la Versailles look like anno 2024; but queer, genuinely fun and in raggedy Rotterdam? Like this! After singles Fou, Monsieur Baudelaire and Chien, Roi Soleil’s entire EP ‘A La Lumière’ will be presented with a new show together with his live band.
Roi Soleil makes ‘Frenglish pop with a dash of queer glitter’. The self-love universe of the Rotterdam Sun King is sprinkled over his peuple in a heroic party trip to the light. Roi Soleil’s personal pop hits are about self-love, identity, Baudelaire’s existentialism, wanting a dog and adolescent grief. Inspired by the greatest pop icons of all time, a boy from the Brabant village of Oud-Gastel gives all the life energy he has to fill your soul with love. Allez c’est parti!
Dress code: You are a guest at Roi Soleil le Bal: dress for the occasion! At Rotterdam’s Sun King’s ball, your shiniest, golden self can totally be there. We won’t do it for less than ‘douze points’.
Roi Soleil, with Club Gewalt and O., received the Nieuwe Makers Regeling of Fonds Podiumkunsten.
