Skip the Use

Skip the Use, a leading figure of the French rock-electro scene, returns live to the Zénith in Paris on Saturday, December 5, 2026. The band champions a signature formula: an unambiguous fusion of guitars and machines, sharp riffs, taut synths and a sense of rhythm designed for the stage. This date accompanies the release of WE ARE GOOD / DISTORTER, a double single announcing their sixth album. WE ARE GOOD asserts itself in a direct, singable format, while DISTORTER leans toward electro-punk. Between these two sides, Skip the Use sketches a new phase that is freer and more upfront, clearly oriented toward live performance. On stage, the band moves from one track to the next with no frills, playing on tension, build-ups and backing vocals, with a dynamic that makes you want to move. At the Zénith in Paris, this stop offers a chance to take the project’s pulse today and to glimpse the trajectory of the next album—between raw energy, immediate melodies and finely honed electronic textures.
