Amel Bent - Minuit Une Tour

Amel Bent brings Minuit Une Tour to Halle Tony Garnier

At Halle Tony Garnier, we are delighted to welcome Amel Bent and her Minuit Une Tour for a night that promises the full emotional arc of her voice—tender, resilient, and gloriously powerful—unfolding across our stage. Over the years, Amel Bent has built a singular bridge between soul, pop, and R&B, and her recent artistic momentum only heightens anticipation. The elegant intimacy of Tu l’aimes encore, the soaring resonance of Le chant des colombes, the kinetic spark of 1,2,3 (with Hatik), and the modern pulse of Jusqu’au bout (with Imen Es) encapsulate a performer who continues to renew herself while honoring the sound that first endeared her to audiences. From our vantage point as host, Minuit Une Tour feels designed for a large, living room-scale communion inside a grand hall: a show concept where “midnight” is less an hour than a threshold, inviting storytelling, silhouettes, and a play of shadow and light that accentuates her vocal colors. On our stage, that dramaturgy will meet a precise, warm mix, allowing her phrasing and harmonies to breathe. The band’s live textures—keys, guitars, deep low-end, and backing vocals—will contour those recent favorites alongside beloved anthems such as Ma philosophie and Ne retiens pas tes larmes, offering a narrative that moves from introspection to release. A coach and mentor to new voices, Amel Bent also brings the ease of an artist who thrives in the present tense: generous, conversational, and ready to stretch her catalog into new arrangements that suit the scale and possibilities of our hall.

An immersive night in Lyon

Minuit Une Tour is as much a visual world as a musical one, and our team is preparing Halle Tony Garnier to be its ideal canvas. Expect a spacious stage architecture that balances intimacy and amplitude: a runway for close connection with the floor, tiered risers for the band, and an LED and lighting design that leans into chiaroscuro—midnight blues, starlit whites, cinematic golds that bloom with each chorus. Our acousticians will tune the room to preserve the warmth of Amel Bent’s midrange, keep percussion punchy without harshness, and let the backing choir shimmer during refrains like Le chant des colombes. From every vantage point—whether you prefer the proximity of the pit or the clarity of elevated sightlines—you’ll feel the show’s dynamic flight path: the quiet confession of Tu l’aimes encore, the collective lift of 1,2,3, and the cathartic drive of Jusqu’au bout, interwoven with the songs that shaped her story. We recommend arriving early to explore the hall, settle in, and catch the overture visuals that set the midnight theme in motion; dedicated bars, merchandise points, and clearly signed access routes will help you move easily and keep your focus on the performance. Throughout the evening, our crew will emphasize fluid transitions, crisp follow-spots, and a mix calibrated for both detail and dance. In Lyon, nights at Halle Tony Garnier are built to magnify an artist’s intent; with Amel Bent and Minuit Une Tour, that means a celebration of voice, rhythm, and resilience—crafted for a shared, luminous hour that lingers well beyond the final note.
