Johnny Symphonique Tour

Vertigo presents: Johnny Symphonique Tour.

Johnny Symphonique Tour 2027-2028. The story continues, with 23 dates across France from November 10, 2027 to March 2028, including a concert at the Arkea Arena.

"The real Johnny Hallyday is on stage." Yvan Cassar

This intimate conviction, Yvan Cassar has developed over more than 15 years during which he accompanied Johnny as musical director. It forms the starting point of a singular project entrusted to him: to reproduce all the power and emotion of Johnny Hallyday's voice as it resonated in concert, while offering him the sonic shell made possible by studio recordings.

From this ambition arose two albums: in 2019, Johnny, and in 2021 Acte II. Both are based on an unprecedented principle: preserving Johnny Hallyday's live vocal takes and magnifying them with new arrangements, sometimes symphonic, sometimes deliberately pared-back. A tribute to the artist, with the intensity that only the stage could reveal.

One idea then takes hold: to return these songs to their place of origin, the stage.

In May 2022, Johnny Symphonique takes to the road for a first tour of twenty dates. Under the direction of Yvan Cassar, more than one hundred musicians, a choir, and a visual production accompany Johnny's voice, reproduced on three giant screens. The classics regain their breath: Diego, libre dans sa tête; L'Envie, Allumer le feu, Que je t'aime, but also Marie, Sang pour sang, or Je te promets. A new series of concerts is planned for spring 2024, enriched with new titles including Gabrielle, Noir c'est noir, or the rhythm and blues medley imagined by Johnny in the sixties. In total, these two tours will have drawn more than 100,000 spectators.

In 2027, as the public prepares to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Johnny Hallyday's death, Johnny Symphonique opens a new chapter. From November 10, 2027, the show will resume for 23 dates across France through March 2028. Still under the direction of Yvan Cassar, it will continue to make that voice heard, carried by the power of a symphonic orchestra and a carefully crafted staging.

This new tour will offer new musical tableaux, an enriched repertoire, and several exceptional guests who will share in this celebration.
