Manu Lanvin

Manu Lanvin returns to the stage on April 4, 2026 at L'Usine - Scènes et Cinés Istres. A leading figure of French blues-rock, he combines a deep, gravelly voice with guitar work steeped in the masters, from Howlin’ Wolf to B.B. King. After more than 600 concerts in France and abroad, he presents Man on a Mission, an album that continues his trajectory: tight riffs, bluesy choruses and a direct, punchy groove. On stage, the set alternates boogie, urban blues and straight-ahead rock, with occasional bursts of slide and a tight rhythm section. Energy flows between the musicians, songs stretch out when needed, and the guitar remains at the centre of the performance. No frills—just songs conceived to be played loud and clear. For those who follow contemporary blues or who want to reconnect with simple, immediate rock, Manu Lanvin merges an American inheritance with a distinctly French sound, in a format made for the stage.
