Nevermore 2023/2024

Nevermore 2023/2024 (also stylized as Nevermore 2023/2024 | Tournée des stades) was the sixth concert tour and eighth series of concerts by French recording artist and songwriter Mylène Farmer, launched in support of her twelfth studio album, L'Emprise. It started on 3 June 2023 at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, and concluded on 1 October 2024 at Stade de France in Paris. It is the singer's first tour to take place completely in stadiums, the first tour since 2013 and the first series of concerts since 2019.

The tour was first announced on 22 June 2021, after media speculation and online teasers posted on Farmer's YouTube channel. The tour was also set to visit Russia in August or September, but no dates were announced. On 21 March 2022, the Russian concerts were cancelled in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 30 June 2023, the two shows in Paris at the Stade de France were cancelled due to the civil unrest caused by the killing of Nahel Merzouk, and were later rescheduled for September 2024, with a third and final additional date announced.

The concert tour has been commercially successful. Initially, eleven dates were announced. Tickets were put on sale on 1 October 2021. In the first two hours, 100,000 tickets were sold, prompting the organisers to schedule second additional dates in some cities, bringing the total number of shows to 14. In total, an estimated 677,000 tickets were sold.

Following the release of Farmer's eleventh studio album, Désobéissance, Farmer announced her seventh series of concerts entitled Mylène Farmer 2019. The residency at Paris La Défense Arena proved to be a commercial success; Farmer performed 9 concerts in front of 235,000 spectators. In addition, it was the ninth best-selling show of 2019 for a female vocalist, with a total revenue of $31,700,000. Despite the commercial success, several critics speculated that it would be Farmer's last series of concerts.

On 9 June 2021, Farmer started teasing an upcoming project by changing the banner of her YouTube channel to a dark image which read MF-NM. On 10 June, Farmer uploaded a video showing a raven's eye on YouTube, where the word Nevermore was first mentioned. On 13 June, a new video was uploaded, featuring a photo of Farmer taken for the live album En concert in the raven's eye, with the title Nevermore 2023. The tour was officially announced on 22 June.

Thierry Suc, Farmer's manager, disclosed in November 2022 that construction of the sets would begin shortly. Le Parisien reported that 90 semi-trailers would be needed for the tour and also announced that long-time collaborator Laurent Boutonnat would not be serving as creative director.

Before the start of the show, the stage was covered by three large LED screens: a rectangular one at each end, and a large central one decorated with the image of large crows in profile. In the center, the tour logo was displayed. At the end of the cross-shaped runway, an inflatable sculpture of two back-to-back crows was installed. Before the start of the concert, the music video of "Regrets" was shown, in remembrance of Jean-Louis Murat, who had died shortly before the tour commenced.

The concert started with a video prologue featuring an unkindness of ravens flying towards the audience. Farmer emerged at the centre of the stage in front of two giant wings wearing an equestrian-inspired outfit, and performed "Du temps" while greeting and walking towards the audience, as scarecrows emerged along the runway. She then proceeded along the cross-shaped runway and performed "Peut-être toi" on a flying crane at the left side of the stage. The backdrop featured crows flying onto electrical power lines. She then performed "Libertine" on a similar flying crane on the other side. The performance ended with Farmer shooting into the screen with an 18th-century pistol, inspired by the music video of the song.
