“When the music is good,” as Jean-Jacques Goldman’s lyrics put it, in a true tribute to the fourth art. And it will be all the better in Bordeaux, which is hosting a slew of concerts. Whether you’re into rock, pop, or rap, everyone will have the chance to sing their hearts out in front of their favorite artist. Between chills and vibrations, Bordeaux’s music scene is set to liven up your evenings!
Christophe Maé
The singer-songwriter who has been making hearts sing since his debut in the musical *Le Roi Soleil* in 2005. As part of his *Fête foraine Tour*, he’s returning to the biggest stages in France, Switzerland, and Belgium in 2026 and 2027. Bordeaux is one of his stops, much to the delight of his fans.
Djadja & Dinaz
French rap fans, mark your calendars for Djadja & Dinaz! After a memorable performance at the Arkéa Arena in late 2023, the duo returns to Floirac on October 14, 2026, for a new tour. It’s a chance to hear their greatest hits and discover their album *Terminal 7*, released in 2025, live on stage.
Josman
A few days later, it’s Josman’s turn to rock the Arkéa Arena. The rapper will be presenting his DPC Tour, a tour inspired by his latest album, *Dom Perignon Crying*. A world that’s at once raw, introspective, and polished, promising a concert that’s as immersive as it is unique.
Orelsan
The undisputed master of lyrics and flow, Orelsan will take the stage in Bordeaux for two additional dates on his 2026 tour. It’s the perfect opportunity to once again revel in the talent of this rapper from Normandy.
Deep Purple
Make way for a true rock legend! Deep Purple will take the stage at the Arkéa Arena on November 12, 2026. With over 100 million albums sold and classics that have spanned generations, the British band promises an evening of hard rock. They will be joined by Jayler for this Bordeaux show.
Bigflo and Oli
It’s Christmas come early with this concert by the exceptional Bigflo and Oli. The duo will be rapping in Bordeaux over two winter evenings to warm our ears. A return that’s been eagerly awaited since their last concert at the Arkéa Arena in 2023.
Feu! Chatterton
To end the year on a musical note, Feu! Chatterton is set to reignite the flame at the Arkéa Arena on December 17. Three years after *Palais d’argile*, the band returns to the stage with its blend of elegance, poetry, and rock intensity. The show is already sold out.
Muse
A pair of concerts sure to delight rock fans! Muse is extending its tour into 2027 and treating Bordeaux to two concerts scheduled for January 12 and 13 at the Arkéa Arena. This is a first for the venue, but not for the capital of the Gironde region, which has already had the honor of hosting the British band, notably at the 2016 edition of Garorock and at the Matmut Atlantique in 2023 as part of the Will of the People World Tour.
Electric Callboy
We’re kicking off 2027 with a bang thanks to Electric Callboy! The German band will take the stage at the Arkéa Arena on January 30 as part of their Tanzneid World Tour. Their secret? Metal riffs, electronic beats, ultra-catchy choruses, and a healthy dose of energy—enough to turn the venue into a full-fledged dance floor.
Simple Minds
Calling all British rock fans: Simple Minds will be stopping in Bordeaux on April 14, 2027. As part of their V Tour, the band will celebrate five decades of their career and will showcase their new album, *Sacrosanct*. The evening is sure to feature both their greatest hits and new songs.
Tayc
A few days later, it’s a change of pace with Tayc! The singer and leading figure of French R&B will take the stage at the Arkéa Arena on April 18, 2027, for his JOŸA Tour. The tour will accompany the release of his new album, JOŸA, which is all about joy and new sounds.
Mosimann
Get ready to dance with Mosimann! A DJ, producer, singer, and true showman, the artist will take the stage at the Arkéa Arena on April 28 with his Dream Tour. His concept blends electronic music, performance, and stage design for a show designed to be a true live experience.
Meute
Imagine a marching band… playing techno. That’s exactly the concept behind Meute, the famous German “Techno Marching Band,” which will be stopping in Bordeaux on May 13, 2027. Eleven musicians, brass instruments, percussion, and electronic beats: an explosive mix that promises to transform the Arkéa Arena into a massive dance floor.
Vianney
Vianney will make his grand return to the stage with not one, but two shows at the Arkéa Arena on May 21 and 22, 2027. After several months away from touring, the singer will reconnect with his audience through his greatest hits—from “Pas là” to “Je m’en vais”—for two evenings marked by shared moments and a sense of closeness.
Soprano
The summer of 2027 promises to be particularly musical with Soprano, who will take the stage at Stade Atlantique on July 3. As part of his Karaoké Stadium Tour, the singer from Marseille will reunite with the Bordeaux audience at a venue accustomed to hosting major events. He had already thrilled spectators there in 2022, when the stadium was still known as Matmut Atlantique.
Angèle
We’ll have to wait until fall 2027 to see Angèle in Bordeaux again. The Belgian singer will stop at the Arkéa Arena on October 23 as part of her Instinct Tour. There, she’ll showcase her new album INSTINCT, a new musical chapter marked by electronic sounds, letting go, and transformation.
