Melanie Martinez

On September 15, 2026, Melanie Martinez takes over the Accor Arena in Paris with HADES: THE SACRIFICE, the tour supporting HADES, her fourth album. True to her taste for narrative worlds and character work, she imagines a new stage persona and mounts an immersive show with a cinematic aesthetic. Onstage, the visual presentation plays a central role: sets conceived like paintings, live camera effects, and costumes and makeup that extend the story from song to song.

Musically, Melanie Martinez blends her alternative pop—tinged with dark pop and art pop—with more organic, rock-tinged textures hinted at on her recent projects. Backed by a full band and occasionally reinforced by strings, her setlist draws from HADES while building bridges to the world she has constructed since Cry Baby, K-12, After School and Portals. Each song is treated as a sequence, with particular attention paid to transitions and the show’s dramaturgy.

Known for the dialogue she creates between music and image, Melanie Martinez conceives this stop at the Accor Arena as an immersion in an entire world, where the staging guides the experience as much as the melodies. It’s an opportunity to experience live the new HADES era—visual storytelling, dark atmospheres, and catchy choruses.
