Festival De Nimes 2026 : Gims

Gims returns in live mode with a set crafted for large stages. First known as part of Sexion d’Assaut, he established himself as a solo artist with melodic songwriting and an immediately recognizable voice, sitting between rap, urban pop and Afro influences. Think of songs like "Sapés comme jamais," "Bella," "Est-ce que tu m’aimes ?" or "J’me tire," which have become the backbone of his concerts. On stage, he alternates up-tempo tracks with more restrained passages, plays on contrasts, and channels the energy with the ease of a frontman. Formerly Maître Gims, the Congolese-French artist has, over the years, refined an effective show in which choirs, heavy beats and earworm choruses intertwine.

On 21 July 2026, Gims takes the stage at the Arènes de Nîmes for the Festival de Nîmes. The program features a festival-style format that draws from his classics and his latest singles, with versions reworked for the arena. The setlist emphasizes crowd-pleasers, while not forgetting a few production surprises and precisely timed transitions. The setting of the Arènes de Nîmes gives a special dimension to this summer event, designed for singing out loud and sharing the moment.
