Festival Baisers iodés - Sam. - Sam Sauvage, Camille Yembe

Heading to La Nouvelle Vague, Saint-Malo, on Saturday 26 September 2026 for the Festival Baisers iodés. Headlining the bill, Sam Sauvage brings an alternative pop informed by ’80s rock, new wave and highly visual songwriting. Originally from northern France and self-taught, he moves between the legacy of Bashung, the nervy syncopations of Talking Heads and a storytelling sensibility in the vein of Stromae. Direct lyrics, a lived-in voice, and production that is at once retro and contemporary: his set plays on tension and melancholy without losing the groove. First revealed by a self-titled EP, he’s now unveiling new, unreleased tracks and preparing his debut album, with an energy that unfolds fully live.

Alongside him, Camille Yembe rounds out the evening. A long-anticipated presence for a bill that promises to be open and curious, where different worlds intersect without posturing. Other names will be added to the lineup in the coming announcements, but the essentials are already in place: a Saturday made for discovery and melodic jolts, in La Nouvelle Vague’s Saint-Malo setting.
