Dominique A - Tournée

Twenty-five years of career and fifteen albums have in no way dulled his ability to surprise us. A figurehead and indispensable craftsman of a demanding, uncompromising French song tradition, Dominique A makes his grand return to La Luciole. With his new album "Spirales" (2026), the artist takes a captivating turn, setting aside fiction for a time to return to the heart of the action through an autobiographical repertoire of total sincerity, carried by a rawer, more physical and resolutely rock sound.

What is his story? It all began in June 2024 during a nostalgic stroll through Provins, his hometown. Walking through the public garden of his childhood, a spark ignited: the visceral need to revisit the places of his youth (Provins, Nantes) and to celebrate friendships rediscovered after decades of silence. To give concrete form to this return to his roots, the choice of studio became self-evident: the Garage Hermétique, near Nantes, the very place where Dominique A mixed his seminal debut album, "La Fossette", thirty-five years earlier. Conceived in close harmony with his stage musicians, this 15th studio album drew on the intensity of live performance and a healthy determination not to smooth everything over by computer. Steering clear of trends, Dominique A traces a perfect curve, a spiral, around his own memories to make them resonate all the more with our times.

What can we expect on stage? Dominique A's concert promises to be a grounded, embodied and vibrant experience. Surrounded by a first-rate quartet (keyboards, double bass, drums), the artist puts the electric guitar back in the foreground to inject grit, relief and a healthy roughness into his compositions.
