Kaz Hawkins live in Lens

Experience Kaz Hawkins live on October 7th

Kaz Hawkins, a Canadian singer-songwriter, will perform at Le Colisée in Lens, France on October 7, 2026. Hawkins is known for his distinctive “desert rock” sound, blending blues influences with driving rhythms and often incorporating elements of Tuareg music – a style he developed after extensive travel and collaboration in the Sahara Desert region. His performances frequently feature instrumentation including electric guitar, bass, and percussion, creating a raw and energetic stage presence. He often performs solo using looping techniques to build complex soundscapes.

Le Colisée is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in Lens. Originally constructed for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, it served as a venue for several matches during the tournament. Following the World Cup, it was adapted to host a variety of events including concerts, sporting competitions (particularly basketball and handball), and shows. The arena has a capacity of approximately 25,000 for concerts and boasts a flexible configuration allowing for varying stage setups and audience arrangements. It remains a significant cultural and sporting landmark within the Hauts-de-France region. The venue underwent renovations in 2016 to modernize facilities and improve accessibility.
