A Historic Moment For Jazz
For the first time, a jazz instrumentalist will take the stage at the Plenitude Arena under his own name, for a fully seated concert bringing together nearly 40,000 spectators.
This exceptional event will trace the musical richness of Ibrahim Maalouf, France’s most popular instrumentalist, known for his unique musical language, artistic generosity and prestigious collaborations with Sting, A$AP Rocky, Salif Keita, Jacob Collier, Angélique Kidjo, Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Miller, J Balvin, Quincy Jones and many more.
An Extraordinary Journey
Born in 1980 in Beirut during the civil war, Ibrahim Maalouf has established himself over 20 years as one of the most influential artists of his generation. His encounter with Quincy Jones in 2017, who became his manager in the United States, marked a turning point toward global recognition.
Having sold out Accor Arena three times (2016, 2022, 2023), this concert at the Plenitude Arena crowns a singular career and breaks new ground by restoring jazz to a place of honor, at the crossroads of genres and cultures.
A Must-See Event
