Perpetually at the crossroads of cultures, the musician intends to vibrate his Celtic chord, through his numerous classics and other titles from his substantial repertoire. On this occasion, nine musicians will accompany him. He will take the opportunity to present a new version of the show performed in his latest live album to date, also Liberté – Roazhon (2024). Discover the classic “Tri Martolod” in a symphonic version from this disc:

Fans present will be able to enjoy the first of unpublished extracts from his symphony. They will also find a new spring single recalling the context of its beginnings.

This ambitious tour intersects with the other tour, that of returning to our roots. Named Heart & Soul, it will take an intimate form, with Alan Stivell on harp and vocals and Tangui Miossec on keyboard. More details will be communicated soon.
