A first at the Vélodrome

The arrival of Gims in Marseille is anything but a surprise. Last December, the Congolese rapper announced at the end of the last of his five sold-out shows at Paris La Défense Arena that he would be “the first Parisian to do the Vélodrome in Marseille”. A few days before, he asked his fans during a nightclub showcase if he could “see you at the Vélodrome in 2027”.

This show marks a new stage in the career of today’s biggest record seller. Gims has never performed in this venue with more than 65,000 seats. He has already traveled to Marseille, on December 14 and 15, 2025, for two concerts at the Dôme in front of more than 8,500 people each evening. On June 19, he will follow in the footsteps of Jul, Johnny Hallyday and David Guetta, who all achieved the feat of filling the stadium. And that day, the Marseillais will not want a Parisianbut from a Gims in Air Force Blanche.
