Patrick Bruel took on the role of the last artist to tread the Jean-Deschamps theater this Wednesday, July 31, for what was the final date of the In Festival in Carcassonne 2024. As always, in the City, the singer received a memorable welcome.
“Last but not least”Sting would have said, about the concert of this Wednesday, July 31, at the Cité. Patrick Bruel closed the Carcassonne Festival, 2024 edition, in the blazing heat. While waiting for him, better than a first part, in the stands, eyes were glued to their phones.

Café of Delights, Place des Grands Hommesbut also Dance for mefrom his latest album. The one who received a César for best actor for his role in First name brought the crowd at the Jean-Deschamps theater to their feet, before alternating with calmer pieces. Halfway through his concert, the singer from Tlemcen in Algeria offered his audience a video break. On the giant screen at the back of the stage, we could see an excerpt from one of his past shows, in Versailles, during which he had two Israeli and Palestinian pianists play together, before continuing with his song Why not believe it, full of sincerity and emotion. A message of hope for the future, and a beautiful way to open the year that is opening up to us. See you next summer, for new adventures, in a better world, who knows?
In front of an audience won over to his cause, Patrick Bruel shared his repertoire.
