Kery James at the Accor Arena: a long-awaited comeback

Seven years after his last appearance in this 12th arrondissement venue, the artist is preparing to return to a venue he knows well. The context is one of impatience, as his audience has been following a demanding artistic trajectory for years. What’s more, a single date creates positive tension around ticket sales.

The choice of theAccor Arena heralds a large-scale production, designed for large crowds. The rendezvous is set for 8pm, an ideal time to bring together families, friends and loyal listeners. As a result, the evening is likely to be a blend of popular fervor and stage precision.

Kery James’s return to the music scene comes at a pivotal time for his career, as he moves from legacy to new chapters. The artist is very committed, and his lyrics are always on the mark. On the other hand, live performance remains the place where his words really come into their own.

“Resistance, love, poetry: see you on November 15, 2026.”

What might resonate on stage

Fans are already imagining a journey through his hit songs. We’re thinking of “Le combat continue“, “MouHammad Alix” and “Banlieusards“, often taken up in chorus. The hall could well vibrate to shared refrains, carried by a dense staging.

The current discography also feeds expectations. His album “R.A.P.” (Resistance, Love, Poetry) is scheduled for release on November 28, 2025. What’s more, a new single, “Temps mort“, is scheduled for release in September 2025, suggesting that there may be some new material on the way.
