Benjamin Biolay - Tournée

Benjamin Biolay - Tournée at Radiant-Bellevue

We are delighted to welcome Benjamin Biolay for his Tournée to Radiant-Bellevue, where our stage is built for the supple dynamics, cinematic arrangements, and lyrical finesse that define his concerts. Over the last few years, Biolay has reaffirmed his place at the forefront of modern chanson with the sleek motorik pulse of Grand Prix and the luminous, coastal shades of Saint-Clair. Recent songs such as Rends l’amour!, Les joues roses, Comment est ta peine?, and Comme une voiture volée have deepened the connection with audiences who recognize in his work a rare balance between intimate storytelling and widescreen, orchestral pop. As a venue, we look forward to hosting a set that moves confidently between his latest material and carefully chosen milestones, offering our audience near Lyon an evening where poetry meets propulsion, brass meets synthesizers, and every word carries the weight of lived experience.

On our stage: sound, vision, and present-day artistry

Radiant-Bellevue is prepared to highlight the breadth of Biolay’s musical diction—string-kissed ballads, driving rock contours, and precise rhythmic undercurrents—through acoustics designed to honor both clarity and warmth. His recent tours have shown a band able to pivot from the refined elegance associated with Palermo Hollywood or La Superbe to the kinetic energy that powers newer titles like Rends l’amour! and the lingering melancholy of Comment est ta peine?. That dual momentum is what we aim to illuminate: the stately grace of his voice against crisp percussion, the glow of keyboards answering a trumpet phrase, the quiet breath between lines as the room leans in. Following the critical acclaim for Grand Prix—recognized at the Victoires de la Musique—and the subsequent creative streak of Saint-Clair, the artist arrives in full command of his palette, crafting a concert experience that feels both freshly minted and steeped in heritage. From our vantage point, that balance is where the evening’s drama lives: in the way a chorus blooms into our hall, in the way a bridge can turn a story on its axis, in the way an encore reframes an entire night.

As we prepare for Benjamin Biolay - Tournée, our team is focusing on details that amplify the intimacy his writing invites. Sightlines in Radiant-Bellevue keep the performer close, and our sound design has room for the softest guitar figure to carry, even as a full ensemble swells. The set is likely to trace the arc between the charged nocturnes of Grand Prix—where songs like Comme une voiture volée and Parc fermé have become modern staples on stage—and the nuanced, sunlit textures of Saint-Clair, with Les joues roses emerging as a new favorite for many. We anticipate moments when the room hushes for a piano-led confession, followed by the uplift of a refrain that feels tailor-made for collective release. Whether you discovered him through the recent singles or have long followed his evolution, the concert at Radiant-Bellevue places you at the heartbeat of his present—where refined songwriting, a seasoned live band, and a carefully sculpted production come together to let each lyric travel the length of the hall and linger long after the final chord fades.
