Info
On May 7, 2026 at the Grand Mix in Tourcoing, Zaoui, the stage name of Raphaël Faget and a former member of Thérapie Taxi, brought his new songs to the stage. After a notable debut solo album and a tour that included a stop at the Olympia, he returns with Toxic et Chic, a chapter that extends the acid-pop streak he’s known for.
Between nonchalance and deliberately embraced fragility, his lyrics examine the surges of a story gone off the rails, where desire and pain intersect. Clean flow, striking images, choruses that stick instinctively: there are echoes of his band past, but the production, his vocal timbre and his songwriting assert an identity that is distinctly his own.
Opening the show, The Doug, from Marseille, continues his trajectory after the album Réparer and the EP Grandes Surfaces. His urban pop treats words with restraint and precision, carried by a clear voice and taut melodies. A direct, unadorned writing style that has made its mark on the French music scene and draws an audience attentive to the sincerity of his approach.
