Christopher Cross

Christopher Cross makes a stop at L’Olympia in Paris on May 3, 2026, for a concert centered on his subtly nuanced songwriting and the soft-rock melodies that defined the late 1970s and early 1980s. A songwriter, composer and American guitarist, he rose to fame with “Sailing” and “Ride Like the Wind,” followed by “Arthur’s Theme” — songs carried by a clear voice, carefully crafted harmonies and arrangements at the crossroads of California rock and adult pop.

On stage, Christopher Cross alternates between fluid guitar lines, keyboards and tight vocal sections, backed by a well-rehearsed band that emphasizes sound and precision. The setlist moves between expected classics and more recent material, favoring song form and pared-down atmospheres. Fans of West Coast softness as well as admirers of well-written pop will find a melodic repertoire designed for the room and its warm acoustics.

An evening at L’Olympia in Paris to rediscover a songwriter who relies on the clarity of his lines, a subdued groove and the effectiveness of his choruses, on May 3, 2026.
