guylainem123 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) As per their website: http://www.ballooncanada.com/index.php/en/spectacles/fiche/mika/1345079700/scene Mika Loto-Quebec Stage 09:15 pm Attention! A ball of energy will be hitting the International Balloon Festival this year in the form of singer-songwriter Mika, who quickly won recognition with his single "Grace Kelly" in 2006, selling more than 3 million copies worldwide. His first album, Life in Cartoon Motion, sold over 6.5 million copies and gave us hits like "Lollipop”, “Love Today", "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" and "Relax, Take it Easy". His second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much, was released in 2009. He quickly climbed into the Top 10 in multiple countries with hits like "We Are Golden", "Blame It on the Girls" and "Rain". Mika is currently recording his third studio album, The Origin Of Love, with the breakout hit " Elle me dit," which has remained top of the worldwide charts since its release in 2011. There will be no resisting his dance-beat pop music sound that will sweep through the International Balloon Festival! EDIT: i sent a message to the festival about the tickets and they answered: Pour assister au spectacle de Mika, il s’agit de se procurer un billet d’une journée qui vous donne accès au site. Ces derniers seront disponibles en ligne vers la mi-mai ou directement sur le site le soir du spectacle. To see Mika in concert, we have to buy a ticket for one day that allows us on the site. Day tickets will be available mid-may or onsite the night of the show. (i would be afraid that it is full by then though ) Edited May 3, 2012 by guylainem123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumazzz Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 CONGRATS !!! Anther article : Journal de Montréal http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2012/05/02/mika-et-simple-plan-a-saint-jean-sur-richelieu Le chanteur britannique Mika sera de retour au Québec cet été. L’interprète de Grace Kelly et Elle me dit sera de la programmation de l’International de montgolfières de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, tout comme le groupe Simple Plan, qui fera de ce festival familial son unique arrêt estival dans la province. Ce n’était que partie remise. Après avoir offert une prestation des plus colorées lors de la grande finale de Star Académie, le 25 mars dernier, le chanteur britannique Mika, qui avait dû annuler sa présence à l’International de montgolfières pour raisons de santé en 2007, pourra finalement se produire dans le cadre de l’événement. « Quand nous avons vu qu’il participait à Star Académie, c’est là que les choses ont débloqué, a dit Louise Lamoureux, directrice des spectacles à l’International de montgolfières. Nous nous sommes dit qu’il était vraiment dû pour revenir dans la région de Montréal. » Mme Lamoureux et son équipe ont alors contacté Paul Jessop, vice-président de la promotion nationale chez Universal Music Cana*da, qui a accepté de leur donner un coup de main. C’est ainsi qu’ils ont réussi à inscrire le nom de Mika à leur program*me du 15 août. « Nous sommes très contents, parce que sa chanson en français (Elle me dit) est vraiment très bonne, a-t-elle affirmé. Nous attendons un nouvel extrait de son troisième album sous peu. En plus, on nous dit que le disque pourrait être lancé avant le début du festival. » Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
