Dominique A - Tournée

Twenty-five years of career and fifteen albums have in no way dulled his ability to surprise us. A leading figure and an essential craftsman of a demanding, upright French chanson, Dominique A makes a major comeback to La Luciole. With his new album "Spirales" (2026), the artist takes a captivating turn, setting fiction aside for a time to return to the heart of the game through a deeply autobiographical repertoire of complete 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. Crossing the public garden of his childhood, a spark went off: a visceral need to revisit the places of his youth (Provins, Nantes) and to celebrate friendships rekindled after decades of silence. To give material 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 first 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 plane everything down by computer. Steering clear of trends, Dominique A traces a perfect curve, a spiral, around his own memories so as to make them resonate more strongly with our era.

What atmosphere can we expect on stage? Dominique A's concert promises to be a earthy, embodied and vibrant experience. Surrounded by a top-flight quartet (keyboards, double bass, drums), the artist brings the electric guitar back to the fore to infuse his compositions with grit, relief and a healthy roughness.
