Florent Pagny Announces 2026 Comeback Tour

Florent Pagny, the renowned French singer and former coach on "The Voice," has officially announced his highly anticipated return to the stage with a tour titled "Le Retour" scheduled for 2026. This tour will feature 12 concerts at the iconic Olympia in Paris, running from June 16 to July 5. Tickets for the Paris performances will go on sale on December 11 at 10 a.m., with sales for other locations starting the following day.

A Journey of Resilience

Pagny's comeback follows a challenging battle with lung cancer, which he publicly shared in January 2022, leading to the interruption of his 60th birthday tour. The singer, who is now 63 years old, has been in remission for about a year. His journey back to performing began on May 29, 2023, when he joined Lebanese artist Hiba Tawaji on stage at the Olympia. Since then, he has participated in various festivals, gradually reconnecting with his audience and regaining his voice.

Celebrating a Milestone

The 2026 tour not only marks Pagny's return but also coincides with his 65th birthday, which he will celebrate in November of that year. The tour will kick off in February and include performances in cities such as Nancy, Rouen, Bordeaux, Lyon, and Brussels, before culminating in Paris. Pagny's team emphasizes that he is eager to share memorable moments with fans, performing all his greatest hits during this exceptional tour.
