Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis returns to live performance with Le Retour des beaux jours, an album that reconnects her with pop and soul. Co-written, composed and produced with Étienne Daho and Jean-Louis Piérot, the record continues a path opened with Les Sources (2018), a period when the artist devoted herself to film and theatre while continuing to write. The new songs draw on the soul of the ’60s and ’70s, combining danceable pulses, restrained guitars and a crisp production that puts the voice and melodies front and centre.

On stage, this repertoire takes shape with a dynamic that highlights warmth and rhythm, bringing to the live show the organic character of pieces born in studios such as Motorbass and Abbey Road. There will be room to premiere new compositions and to revisit key moments from her career. Vanessa Paradis appears on 8 October 2026 at Sala Apolo, Barcelona, in a concert that marks her return to that personal territory where pop elegance and soulfulness coexist—unadorned and with the songs at the heart of the performance.
