Gruff Rhys

Gruff Rhys, the Welsh singer-songwriter and voice of Super Furry Animals, will perform on 21 March 2026 at Théâtre l’Archipel in Paris. As a solo artist, he has for years drawn a clear line between psychedelic pop, folk and subtle electronic touches. A bilingual singer, he moves between English and Welsh with songwriting attentive to places and trajectories—small stories that unfold at their own pace. From Pang! and Seeking New Gods to Sadness Sets Me Free, his recent albums continue his affinity for songs that hit the road, meet characters and allow simple images to surface.

On stage, Gruff Rhys blends recent pieces with older tracks without overworking the approach, in a format that puts the lyrics front and center. The arrangements support an immediately recognizable voice and a storytelling style that gently establishes the scene. The concert bridges his solo records and his group ventures while preserving the flexibility and clarity that define his path. It’s a moment to get close to his songs, between curious pop and folk with shifting contours.
