Gaëtan Roussel

Gaëtan Roussel is constantly on the move. A songwriter, composer and singer with an instantly recognizable timbre, he has followed a distinctive path since his time with Louise Attaque, moving between edgy folk and pared‑back pop. As a solo artist, he has patiently built a repertoire where every word has its place and where sparse guitars converse with supple rhythms, without unnecessary effects. With Marjolaine, his sixth studio album announced for 14 November 2025, he extends that precise songwriting and his knack for understated choruses, a project he has been taking on the road since spring 2026.

At Le Liberté in Rennes on 29 November 2026, he presents these new songs alongside landmark pieces from his career, supported by a tight-knit band and arrangements that go straight to the point. One hears his natural way of making the French language sing, a clear phrasing and a live dynamic that favors momentum, breathing and collective interplay. An evening to watch closely an artist who enjoys shifting boundaries without losing his thread, between rock heritage and contemporary pop.
