Marcel et son Orchestre

Marcel et son Orchestre rolls into Salle Marcel Sembat in Chalon-sur-Saône on April 10, 2026. The Ch’ti collective, born in the Nord in the 1990s, has forged a hybrid signature where ska, punk, brass-band horns and biting humor advance together. On stage it’s costumes, carnival spirit and collective energy, with choruses made to be sung back in unison and breaks that get the pit bouncing. Behind the banter, the lyrics bite into reality: social satire, a talent for slogans and rallying anthems. The repertoire draws widely from their landmark albums — from Sale Bâtard to Putain de Faubourg, Tout Peut Arriver and La Grosse Commission — for a set conceived as a moment of shared freedom. Edgy guitars, a razor‑tight brass section, anthemic backing vocals: the band delivers its unvarnished festive rock, between ska pulses, punk surges and a popular dance‑hall vibe. An evening where people dance, laugh and sing loudly, with the self‑deprecation and insolence that are their trademark.
