Julien Clerc

Julien Clerc is back on the road in 2026 and will stop at the Splendid Saint-Quentin on 23 April 2026. A long-established singer-songwriter of French chanson, he has spanned the decades with a distinctive voice and songwriting in which melodies meet elegant pop. On stage he revisits his signature songs, offers glimpses of his recent albums and presents contemporary arrangements, surrounded by his trusted musicians. The program alternates piano ballads and more rhythmic numbers, with a way of letting the lyrics breathe rather than locking them in place. Nuits d’Artistes is accompanying this tour, conceived to reconnect as closely as possible with audiences in intimate venues. Without forced nostalgia, the concert looks back as much as it moves forward, drawing on a repertoire that continues to circulate. It’s an occasion to rediscover a consummate stage artisan, precise in his gestures, attentive to nuance, and always in motion.
