Julien Clerc

On March 19, 2027, at Le Phénix in Valenciennes, Julien Clerc returns to the stage with a concert that spans more than fifty years of songs. First revealed in 1968 with "La Cavalerie," he has shaped a repertoire where chanson and pop intersect, carried by a clear voice and precise songwriting. His signature songs will be heard, from "Ce n’est rien" to "Si on chantait," from "Ma préférence" to "Femmes, je vous aime," not forgetting "Mélissa" or "Fais‑moi une place."

At the piano or supported by broader arrangements, he alternates intimate ballads and orchestrated crescendos, always allowing the lyrics to breathe. Love, time, memories: these themes find a particular resonance live, delivered with clear diction and controlled emotion. His collaborations with Étienne Roda‑Gil, Jean‑Loup Dabadie, Maxime Le Forestier and Carla Bruni have punctuated his albums and take on a different color in this setting.

Always loyal to great popular melodies, Julien Clerc favors a restrained presence focused on the song and on sharing. It’s an opportunity to explore a generous discography, between classics and more recent tracks, in a format designed for the stage.
