The kick-off has been given. Friday evening, Pierre Garnier launched his first solo tour from the Espace de Forges-les-Eaux (Seine-Maritime). The 1,200 fans who fought to get their tickets wouldn’t have missed it for anything, since after the small venues, the winner of the “Star Academy” will continue with the Zénith and a symbolic date at the Accor Arena in Paris on December 9. For this premiere, Pierre Garnier delivered a simple and stripped-down 90-minute show, but which delighted the fans, while performing all the pieces from his first album “Every second” (sold more than 180,000 copies), including twice his hit “Those we were”. “ You are very hot, it feels so good. It’s still a crazy evening. It’s the first date of my first tour, it’s crazy! Thank you for responding to my invitation and being part of my story » he said at the start of the show, as reported by our colleagues from Parisian.

“Not even a year ago, I was nowhere”
And this first concert had a symbolic value for the Norman: “ I come from a small town not far from here, Villedieu-les-Poêles, and it was in my little house that I wrote my first song. I had just had a breakup. Thanks to this little misfortune, I am here before you this evening. And it’s a great happiness “. The public also sang all his songs at the top of their lungs, from hits to the most unknown, but also a few covers sung by Pierre Garnier: “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi, “Someone Like You” by Adele and above all ” Bloodstream” by his idol Ed Sheeran: ” You know, before, the scene freaked me out. It was thanks to this redhead that I saw, alone with his guitar, that I told myself that I could do it too ».

And at the end of the concert, faced with the enormous enthusiasm of the public, Pierre Garnier was overwhelmed by emotion: “ Thank you very much, it’s amazing. Not even a year ago I was nowhere and here I am in front of you tonight. It’s the first time that I’m doing my songs, that I’m doing a concert alone in front of people. Did you like it? Aren’t you disappointed? I am not disappointed with you, with me, with the people who follow me. I’m not going to cry again, but it’s just crazy “. On social networks, the artist published a message to thank the public after the concerts in Forges-les-Eaux and Le Mans given this weekend. “ It’s incredible to finally have the opportunity to sing my songs on stage, alongside you, and surrounded by my musicians and backing vocalists. I can’t wait to present to you this show that resembles me, and to write a new story with you » he writes. Around fifty dates are still scheduled until the end of December, as the artist prepares to join the Enfoirés troupe for the 2025 show, which begins this Tuesday, January 14 in Montpellier.
