Papooz - Tour 2026

Papooz bring their idiosyncratic, laid‑back pop signature to Berlin: on April 15, 2026, Ulysse Cottin and Armand Penicaut will play at Festsaal Kreuzberg. The French duo first met in line at a Patti Smith concert and have since developed a sound that effortlessly combines a bossa‑nova shimmer, California soft rock and the British pop tradition. They first came to attention in 2015 with Ann Wants to Dance; since then they’ve released three albums marked by androgynous vocals, warm guitars and melodies that linger without gimmickry.

Live, Papooz emphasize intimacy and detail: voices in dialogue, smooth riffs and unassuming grooves. Their repertoire spans ten years of songwriting and explores nuances that make the studio versions breathe differently. No big gestures—rather a precise flow that swings between lightness and quiet melancholy. In Kreuzberg, friendship, pop and craft come together—an evening that shows how free and open French pop music can sound today.
