Organised by France Télévisions, Électron Libre Productions and the Fondation des Hôpitaux, this charity concert delivered nearly four hours of entertainment at one of Europe’s largest indoor venues. It’s a powerful demonstration of Plenitude Arena’s ability to host large-scale events that sit at the intersection of performance and purpose.

An international, unifying lineup

From the very first moments, the energy in the room was unmistakable. K-pop superstars Stray Kids set the tone, sweeping along a crowd that had travelled from across France and beyond. They were followed by G-Dragon, a familiar face at the venue after his appearance at the 2025 edition of the Gala and a solo concert there. Global pop icon Christina Aguilera delivered one of the night’s defining performances, bringing the gala to a close to a standing ovation worthy of the occasion.

The evening also explored other musical worlds, with acclaimed sets from A$AP Rocky and Future bringing a hip-hop and R&B dimension to the night.

The French scene held its own throughout : Gims, one of the defining voices of French-language music, and Bob Sinclar, who had the arena moving with his emblematic electronic sounds. La Femme brought a singular electro-rock edge, a fitting reflection of the lineup’s breadth and eclecticism. Mika was also part of the bill on January 22, 2026, performing the timeless classics and delivering the distinctive voice that have made him a global favourite.

A prominent place for classical music and jazz

True to the DNA of the Gala des Pièces Jaunes, classical music and jazz held a central place in the evening’s programme. Performances by Gautier Capuçon, Khatia Buniatishvili, Ibrahim Maalouf and Jakub Józef Orliński offered suspended moments of elegance and emotion, a reminder that this gala has always known how to bring the most diverse musical traditions together under one roof.
