Les Fatals Picards

Les Fatals Picards will be at the Forum in Vauréal on September 12, 2026. Since the late 1990s, the band has been carving out its path between alternative rock, absurd humor and sharp social observation. Satirical lyrics, well-measured self-mockery and singalong choruses: their songwriting juggles everyday life and the quirks of the times, without taking itself seriously. Brought to wider attention at Eurovision 2007 with “L’amour à la française,” they have released numerous records—from Pamplemousse mécanique to Coming Out, Le sens de la gravité and Country Club—shaping a repertoire where whimsy rubs shoulders with lucid barbs.

On stage, Les Fatals Picards combine taut guitars, counterpoint backing vocals and asides that gently upend the usual concert framework. Between pastiches, acerbic portraits and catchy ballads, they tread that clear line that makes you smile while highlighting reality. At the Forum, audiences will hear their emblematic hits alongside more recent tracks, in that mix of offbeat, festive rock-song and mischievous lucidity that has accompanied them since their beginnings. It’s an opportunity to measure, live, the longevity of a band that has stayed true to its tone and energy.
