The first Flames ceremony, which wishes to reflect all musical cultures, will be held in May 2023.
A popular culture ceremony: such is the ambition of Les Flammes, the first awards evening dedicated to artists from all walks of life, including rappers. If the latter are indeed the biggest sellers of the French music industry, many voices are raised to denounce their absence in traditional ceremonies, such as the Victoires de la Musique or the NRJ Music Awards. Also, Les Flammes, (first) edition 2023, will therefore be held on May 11, at the Théâtre du Chatelet, in Paris.
21 trophies will be awarded to artists, corresponding to the categories of this ceremony, organized by Yard and Booska-P media, in partnership with the Spotify platform. As for the votes, they are shared between the public and a “joint jury, made up of industry professionals”, say the organizers. In each of the categories, the names of the competing artists will be communicated soon. For now, only the first names are known.
For this ceremony, intended to celebrate popular cultures, 21 categories are announced by the organizers of the Flames. Here are the ones that have already been published:
