Saez

Saez stops at Le Summum in Grenoble on December 1, 2026 with La Tournée des Maudits. Behind that name, Damien Saez, French singer‑songwriter, continues a trajectory begun in the late 1990s, straddling electric rock, chanson and electronic touches. From the early flashes of Jours étranges to more recent cycles like Le Manifeste, via J’accuse or Miami, he has forged a direct writing style—often social, always attentive to intimate faults—carried by an unadorned voice and guitars with a pronounced presence.

On stage, Saez moves between the intensity of a full band and more stripped‑back piano interludes. The new pieces interlock with songs that have marked his path, in arrangements that favor tension, space and the text. La Tournée des Maudits sets a dark and sensitive frame where rock pulses cross paths with bleaker, more naked ballads, without unnecessary effects. At Le Summum Grenoble, the backbone remains the same: a frontal presence, images that stick with you and music that advances at a human scale. A rendezvous to find Saez where he stands best—closest to the words and the melodies.
