Matt Maeson (US)

Matt Maeson is an American songwriter who blends tender sensitivity with musical force. His songs explore the darker sides of human experience and transform doubt, pain and hope into iconic anthems, carried by his characteristic, intimate guitar playing.

Maeson is especially known for his mega-hits "Cringe" and "Hallucinogenics" (featuring Lana Del Rey) – songs that made him the first male solo artist to get two tracks from a debut album to the top of the Alternative charts. On stage, he presents himself as both present and uncompromising, with concerts distinguished by raw energy and acoustic intensity. This is documented on his latest live album That's My Cue: A Solo Experience (2024), recorded on a sold-out tour across the USA.

Recently, Maeson got married and became a father – a major life transformation he addresses with brutal honesty on his latest single "Everlasting". On 13 October, he takes the stage in the intimate venue of Lille VEGA with a full band setup, giving his lyrics the musical fullness they deserve.
