Midnight Oil

On July 12, 2022, Midnight Oil performed at L’Olympia in Paris as part of their European tour, which was notable for being one of their last tours as a band. This performance coincided with the release of their album "The Makarrata Project" in 2020, which signified a return to their roots in terms of activism and social commentary. "The Makarrata Project" focused on reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in Australia, which has been a long-standing theme in Midnight Oil's music. The live performance of their iconic song "Beds Are Burning," a powerful anthem for social justice, reflects the band's continuous commitment to political issues highlighting environmental and Indigenous rights. Interestingly, the concert at L’Olympia was part of their farewell tour, marking the end of an era for the band, known for its energetic live shows and activism. This performance not only celebrated their legacy but also served as a reminder of their enduring influence in rock music and advocacy.
