Born in 1997, Adrien and Clément both grew up at the dawn of the new millennium, with its fantasies and disillusions. The year of their birth is also marked by a musical effervescence - the French Touch and the rise of Britpop: two major movements that would infuse their first recordings two decades later. 

In 2022, Kids Return released its first album 'Forever Melodies' which marked the beginning of the adventure. In just a few months, the duet transitions from a filmed live session at the legendary Motorbass studio to shows at prestigious Paris venues like La Maroquinerie and La Cigale sold-out. Rapidly, the band flies away to tour across North America, from Los Angeles to Montreal, including a very special night playing at the iconic Red Rocks natural amphitheater at the heart of Colorado. Kids Return's revelation in France takes the two friends all the way to Tokyo to perform on the Summer Sonic stage in 2023, Japan's most important festival. Several awards and events embellish the rise including: representing France at Eurosonic where the band received an MME Award, two invitations at the famous French TV program Quotidien (awarded as the Best New Music Act of 2023), and multiple collaborations with Saint Laurent. 

With “1997”, Kids Return embarks on a new chapter, an ambitious world tour punctuated by major milestones: a headline show at L’Olympia on May 14th, followed by performances at London’s Roundhouse and KOKO, Band On The Wall (Manchester), Hangar34 (Liverpool), Auditorio BB (Mexico) and a return to the legendary Red Rocks in the US. As they take their music to new heights, the duo continues to refine their sound and vision, driven by the same timeless energy that has defined them from the start.
