Orelsan raps life exactly as it is. He turns the thoughts we keep to ourselves into choruses everyone sings along to, enough to fill the biggest stages across the French-speaking world. With over three million records sold, he has now opened a new chapter with La fuite en avant, a bold reinvention drifting between pop and electro, complete with an accompanying film. In 2026, Orelsan is no longer the lost thirty-something. He now speaks about fatherhood and fame. He has evolved alongside his audience, and for that, we’re grateful. This summer, Orelsan returns to Paléo to write a new, beautiful chapter in his long-running love story with the festival.
