Johnny Symphonique Tour 2027-2028

The story continues with 23 dates across France from November 10, 2027 to March 2028.

"The real Johnny Hallyday is on stage." - Yvan Cassar

This intimate conviction, which Yvan Cassar has developed over more than fifteen years during which he accompanied Johnny as musical director, forms the starting point of a singular project entrusted to him: to restore all the strength and emotion of Johnny Hallyday's voice as it sounded in concert, while offering him the sonic frame that studio recordings make possible.

From this ambition arise two albums: in 2019, Johnny, and in 2021 Acte II. Both are based on an unprecedented principle: preserving Johnny Hallyday's live vocal takes and magnifying them with new arrangements, sometimes orchestral, sometimes deliberately pared down. A tribute to the artist, with the intensity that only the stage could reveal.

In May 2022, Johnny Symphonique took to the road for a first tour of twenty dates. Under the direction of Yvan Cassar, more than a hundred musicians, a choir, and a visual creation accompany Johnny's voice, reproduced on three giant screens. The classics regain their breath: Diego, libre dans sa tête, L’Envie, Allumer le feu, Que je t’aime, but also Marie, Sang pour sang, or Je te promets.

A new series of concerts is programmed for spring 2024, enriched with new titles including Gabrielle, Noir c’est noir, and the rhythm-and-blues medley imagined by Johnny in the sixties. The repertoire expands, the emotion remains intact. In total, these two tours will have drawn more than 100,000 spectators.

In 2027, as the public prepares to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Johnny Hallyday’s death, Johnny Symphonique opens a new chapter. Starting November 10, 2027, at the Zénith in Paris, the show will run for 23 dates across France through March 2028. Always under the direction of Yvan Cassar, it will continue to make this voice heard, carried by the power of a symphonic orchestra and a carefully crafted staging.

This new tour will offer new musical tableaux, an enriched repertoire, and several guests who will come to share this celebration.
