Sniper

Sniper will be appearing on October 25, 2026 at Le Life in Saint-Nazaire. Formed in the Val-d’Oise in the late 1990s, the group led by Aketo, Tunisiano and Blacko forged a style in which direct, hard-hitting writing sits alongside storytelling and social observation. From their beginnings with Du rire aux larmes through Gravé dans la roche and Trait pour trait, their tracks have established a recognizable signature—sharp verses, memorable choruses and productions crafted for the stage.

On stage, Sniper blends chronicles of real life, a restrained egotrip and effective melodies, alternating introspection with direct address. Classics meet flagship tracks; flows interlock and choruses bring people together effortlessly. The set navigates between punchlines that hit, dark moods and melodic brightening, with the way they tell the city’s stories and trajectories that became their identity. It is a comeback that reasserts a cross-generational repertoire, carried by collective energy and a live sensibility that speaks as much to long-time fans as to those discovering them.
