Slimane rocks the Accor Arena in Paris and reunites with Vitaa

Music news

The “Cupid Tour” stopped at the Accor Arena in Paris for a powerful and moving concert. A look back at the best moments of Slimane’s show!

Slimane’s incredible voice moved the Accor Arena in Paris, this Friday March 1, 2024. For his first solo Bercy, the singer was sold out.

Like the angel straight out of his latest album “The Chronicles of Cupidon”, the artist appeared on stage with a dazzling costume made up of immense futuristic wings.

Flight and acrobatics in the air, flame projections, light shows… The 13,000 spectators were amazed throughout the evening.

Slimane impressive on “Mon Amour” for Eurovision

Slimane also managed to move his audience by delivering powerful renditions of his biggest hits: “Paname”, “Adieu”, “Viens on s’aime”, “The recipe” and even “Thousands of I love you” .

Highlight of the evening: the a cappella version of the chorus of “Mon Amour”, a hit created for the next Eurovision contest. The Arena, initially silent and impressed, then thanked its artist by singing the romantic piece in unison. Thrills guaranteed.

Slimane and Vitaa: the duo’s return to Bercy

Slimane did not forget to pay tribute to his former sidekick Vitaa by covering his title “A fleur de toi”, an emblematic piece from his early career.

Vitaa also surprised the crowd by arriving on stage to sing with his friend. Charlotte, her real name, accompanied Esmeralda’s dad on the poignant ballad “Avant toi” and the hit “Oui ça va”. The two extremely close artists offered Bercy a moving reunion.
