As soon as he joined the stage, microphone in hand, he exclaimed, looking at the sky: “Is the storm coming? “. For their part, the crowd didn’t seem to be worried about the weather, rather very impatient to hear Mika sing. Breaking an audience record, the 2024 edition of Solidays brought together more than 260,000 spectators in the middle of the weekend of legislative elections and vacations.
At just forty years old, Mika has not lost an ounce of his stage energy. To the rhythm of his hits “Relax”, “Love Today” or “Elle me dit”, the singer danced without stopping until the end of his performance on the main stage of the Paris Longchamp racecourse. Throughout the concert, the artist changed outfits several times, ending his show in a white outfit, with a rainbow flag under his arm.

Mika, committed to the end
For several years, Mika has become a committed figure in the world of music. One of his major battles remains the fight for the rights of LGBT people. For example, in 2013, during the vote on the law on marriage for all, the singer was the headliner of the concert organized on the Place de la Bastille in Paris.

During Solidays this weekend, a spectator handed Mika a rainbow flag from the pit, a symbol of this cause. The artist grabbed it and waved it above his head. The image was all the more powerful because that same day, in Paris, the pride march was taking place in a festive atmosphere.
