Experience Angélique Kidjo live on June 25th

Angélique Kidjo will perform at Parc du Pré Leroy in Niort, France on June 25, 2026. Kidjo is a Beninese singer-songwriter known for her diverse musical style, often described as Afrobeat, but incorporating elements of West African traditions, jazz, Latin American rhythms, and pop. Her work frequently features vocals in Fon, Yoruba, French and English, addressing themes of social justice, women’s rights and celebrating African culture. She has received numerous awards throughout her career including a Grammy Award for *Agolo* in 1992 and several subsequent nominations and wins.

Parc du Pré Leroy is a significant green space within the city of Niort. Originally agricultural land belonging to the Leroy family – hence the name – it was transformed into a public park in the 1980s following municipal acquisition. The park covers approximately 23 hectares and features diverse landscapes including lawns, wooded areas, a pond, and dedicated spaces for recreation. It regularly hosts cultural events and festivals due to its size and accessibility. The park's design emphasizes natural integration with the urban environment and provides a popular leisure destination for residents of Niort and surrounding areas.
