Twelve years: that’s how long we’ve had to wait to see Stevie Wonder on a French stage again. His last appearance in France was in 2014, during a concert at the Jazz à Juan festival in Juan-les-Pins, in the Alpes-Maritimes. The American singer, pianist, and harmonica player is making his grand return today with a one-night-only show in Paris: at the Accor Arena on Thursday, October 15, 2026. The concert hall is also open to visitors during Heritage Days.
As for tickets, the presale begins on Thursday, September 10, ahead of the general sale scheduled for Friday, September 11, at the same time. Prices range from €78.50 to €276.50 depending on seat category.
A concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Songs in the Key of Life”
Released on September 28, 1976, the album *Songs in the Key of Life* is unanimously considered one of the greatest albums ever produced, across all eras and genres. It features tracks that have become classics, such as “Sir Duke,” “Isn’t She Lovely,” and “I Wish.” It is this anniversary—that of a double album that left its mark on the history of popular music—that Stevie Wonder is celebrating on tour this year.
Stevie Wonder’s return to the stage is also accompanied by another announcement eagerly awaited by his fans: the planned 2027 release of *Through the Eyes of Wonder*, his first true studio album since *A Time to Love*, released in 2005. The artist has specified that this new album will notably include four tracks composed during the *Songs in the Key of Life* era, which have remained unreleased until now.
