A soul and funk-infused opening

Even before Lenny Kravitz stepped on stage, the evening was already off to a brilliant start, courtesy of Adi Oasis a French Caribbean artist. With her impeccable playing and smooth, soulful voice, she won the crowd over with a set that was pure groove from start to finish. Then, in a moment of surprise, Richard Ashcroft, the legendary frontman of The Verve made a memorable appearance, performing the timeless “Bitter Sweet Symphony” to an audience hanging on every note.

Charisma, power and a deep connection with the crowd

Just after 9pm, Lenny Kravitz appeared on the Plenitude Arena stage, dressed in leather and dark glasses, carrying an aura that was at once mysterious and radiant. At 60, the singer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist has lost none of his fire or his magnetism. From the very first notes, he swept the crowd into a whirlwind of energy, drawing on tracks from his 2024 album Blue Electric Light, including “TK421” and “Paralyzed”.

But it was his timeless classics that truly brought the house down. “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over”, “Fly Away”, “American Woman” and “I Belong to You” were sung back to him in unison by a crowd spanning every generation.

A stage performance of rare intensity

One of the night’s most powerful moments was undoubtedly a monumental rendition of “Let Love Rule”, extended to over twenty minutes. In a gesture of generosity and closeness, Lenny Kravitz left the stage and made his way into the pit, then up into the stands, meeting his fans with a disarming authenticity. That suspended moment encapsulated everything the artist stands for: music made to bring people together, to feel something collectively, and to let love speak.

On stage, the band matched every moment. Roaring guitars, blazing brass, driving drums and ethereal keys formed the perfect setting for Kravitz’s warm, raspy voice. Each instrument finding its place within a masterfully controlled sound, demonstrating once again that rock can be both raw and refined.
