The concert will take place at the Alhambra in Paris, France on September 26th, 2026. This Alhambra is not the famed palace in Granada, Spain; rather it’s a historic venue originally built as a dance hall in 1903 by Gustave Eiffel’s company. Initially named the Alhambra-Phénix, it hosted various forms of entertainment including circuses and theatrical performances. Over its history, it transitioned through different uses – serving as a cinema during the 20th century – before being renovated and restored as a concert hall in the 1980s. The space retains architectural features reflective of its Belle Époque origins. It's known for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics making it a popular location for diverse musical acts.
