Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine « Des Adieux »

On April 9, 2027, Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine takes over the Zénith de Rouen with Des Adieux, the tour that closes a half-century of concerts. A genre-defying singer-songwriter and an enduring figure of the French music scene since the 1970s, he has built a repertoire where chanson, folk-rock and electric energy intersect, carried by lyrics of oblique imagery, a sense of irony and literary references. Eighteen albums to his name and songs that have accompanied several generations, delivered with his unmistakable way of making rock sound in French.

On stage, Thiéfaine unfolds a journey through his records, from the earliest chapters to the most recent, stringing together signature tracks and rarer detours. Accompanied by a band that emphasizes the dynamics—between taut guitars, keyboards and acoustic interludes—he moves through atmospheres, from electric tension to ballads that make room for the words. Des Adieux condenses a traversal of his universe: announced as his final tour, it is a long-awaited moment to hear live, on a grand scale, a repertoire that has become familiar.
