Bernard Lavilliers

Bernard Lavilliers hits the road again in 2027 and sets down his suitcases in Dijon on 18 February 2027 at the Zénith de Dijon. On stage, the mix that defines him can be found: precise French chanson, taut rock, Latin accents, swaying reggae, Brazilian rhythms and Caribbean hues, all carried by open arrangements. His lyrics, nourished by ports, travel and social realities, sketch urban and maritime narratives, delivered by a deep voice and a direct phrasing that gets straight to the point.

Between revisited classics and more recent songs, Lavilliers re-orchestrates, stretches the moods, and lets the guitars, brass and percussion breathe, inviting movement. The band accompanies without excess, serving the songs and their imagery, moving between slow ballads, solid grooves and more electrified forays. The concert promises to be a crossing of his repertoire, from the ship’s log to quayside chronicles, reflecting the experience of an artist who loves the stage and extended arrangements. A date in Dijon for those who have followed his road as well as for anyone curious about music that travels and blends horizons.
