Grammy-nominated visionary Madeon, the creative project of producer, singer, and songwriter Hugo Leclercq, has unveiled the final pre-release track from his upcoming studio album, Victory. Set for release on June 26 via Mom+Pop, the project continues to build momentum with the arrival of “Red Jacket,” a collaboration featuring Sam Gellaitry.
“Red Jacket” serves as a poignant exploration of change, blending bright, wistful melodies with a propulsive, fuzzed-out production style. Reflecting on the collaboration, Sam Gellaitry shared his admiration for the artist, stating, “Madeon to me is a trailblazer in regards to what we normalize today on social media, and in regards to showing off production chops in a performance way. I remember watching Pop Culture mashup and being so intrigued. It’s such a full circle moment to have this track out with him!”
A New Era of Victory
Victory marks Madeon’s first full-length release since his 2019 Grammy-nominated album, Good Faith, which famously debuted at #1 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Album chart. The new 10-track collection is described as a multi-media masterpiece, drawing influences from punk, indie rock, electro-clash, and high fashion. It represents a bold step forward for the artist, focusing on themes of transformation, catharsis, and self-discovery.
The release of “Red Jacket” follows a string of successful singles, including “Fire Away (feat. Slayyyter),” “Car Crash Baby,” and “Hi!,” the latter of which garnered significant critical acclaim.
The Victory Live Tour
In support of the new record, Madeon will embark on an extensive 31-date North American tour beginning September 24, 2026. The Victory Live tour promises a reimagined stage production, incorporating the visual team behind his previous Good Faith Forever tour. Fans can expect a seamless mix of material spanning his entire catalog, with classic tracks rebuilt to fit the sonic landscape of this new era.
The tour will visit major cities across the continent, including stops in Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, and New York, before concluding in Chicago on November 21, 2026.
