MPL

MPL takes the stage at L’Olympia in Paris on April 1, 2026. Behind these three letters is a French band, originally known as Ma pauvre Lucette, which for several years has been carving out a singular path between chanson and indie pop. Their songs play on the interweaving of voices, delicate guitars and light electronic textures, with French-language songwriting that privileges detail, everyday imagery and restrained choruses. No grand effects — rather arrangements that breathe, dynamics that rise without abruptness, and a constant attention to the words.

On stage, MPL offers a set conceived as a narrative thread, alternating hushed numbers and more nervous passages, prominent harmonies and subtle breaks. The band draws from its various periods, from the earliest songs signed Ma pauvre Lucette to more recent titles, for a journey that emphasizes the voices and the cohesion of the collective. At the Olympia, the venue lends itself to nuanced interplay and dialogue with the audience, providing an opportunity to rediscover their repertoire in a spacious yet precise format, balancing intimacy with measured energy.
