Hervé Vilard

Hervé Vilard will be performing in concert on 22 May 2027 at the Palais des Congrès in Perpignan. With an assured voice and clear diction, he champions French chanson in which the lyrics and melody remain at the center. Discovered very young by the song “Capri c’est fini,” he has since built a repertoire that spans decades, between tender ballads and popular refrains.

In Perpignan he will revisit the songs that have accompanied several generations: “Nous,” “Venise pour l’éternité,” “Reviens,” “Méditerranéenne”… Songs he reinterprets with the energy of the stage, privileging storytelling and subtlety. The concert alternates intimate moments and broader surges, supported by arrangements that leave room for the voice and the words.

True to his direct manner of addressing the public, Hervé Vilard bets on closeness rather than spectacle. There is that simple and generous way of sharing his stories — a journey through a collective memory in which everyone recognizes a refrain, a fragment of life, an emotion.
