It was an unmissable musical and charity event! The Gala des Pièces Jaunes took over Paris on Thursday, January 22, 2026, for a new edition filled with powerful moments. As a reminder, the Gala des Pièces is a major fundraising evening held as part of the Operation of the Yellow Coins. Now in its fourth year, the Gala des Pièces Jaunes remains the perfect occasion to gather generous donations for the Hospital Foundation.
In 2023, the Pièces Jaunes Gala took over the Paris Zénith for its first edition, bringing together a host of national and international artists. Accompanied by the Orchestre Lamoureux, Mika, Gautier Capuçon, Vianney, Angèle, Gims, Michel Polnareff, Mentissa, Soolking and world-renowned artists such as Pharrell Williams, Kid Cudi and Blackpink put on a great show.
In 2024, the Pièces Jaunes Gala went one step further, choosing theAccor Arena in Paris. For the occasion, Colombian singer and rapper J Balvin, the ever-popular Pharrell Williams, South Korean K-pop group Stray Kids, BlackPink singer Lisa and not forgetting Gims, as well as A$AP Rocky, Zazie, Vianney, Phœnix, Ibrahim Maalouf and Kendji Girac were on hand.
In 2025, the charity event took a bold step by choosing to fill Europe’s largest indoor arena! On January 23rd, Paris La Défense Arena hosted, for the very first time, the Gala des Pièces Jaunes. A lineup of headliners gathered for the occasion, including Katy Perry, pianist and singer John Legend, South African opera star Pretty Yende, and cellist Gautier Capuçon. The show also featured international sensations like J-Hope from BTS, Rosé from Blackpink, as well as Aya Nakamura, Gims, Lang Lang, J Balvin, and Burna Boy.
Amid soaring success and to mark the occasion of the 37th edition of Pièces Jaunes, the Hospital Foundation organized a new and fourth edition of the Pièces Jaunes Gala in Paris. This grand evening of music and solidarity returned, for the second year running, to Paris La Défense Arena on Thursday, January 22, 2026.
So, what’s on the programming for the 2026 edition of the Gala des Pièces Jaunes? The audience was electrified by American superstar Christina Aguilera, famous for hits like "Genie In a Bottle", "Say Something", and "Candy Man". The singer, a major star in the early 2000s, was not the only artist to grace the stage at Paris La Défense Arena on January 22. G-Dragon, leader of the K-pop sensation Big Bang, along with Stray Kids, rap icons A$AP Rocky and Future, as well as Gims, who recently sold out this venue in the Hauts-de-Seine five times over, were also performing.
Also taking the stage at Paris La Défense Arena were American-Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer Davido, the band La Femme, Quebecois artist Charlotte Cardin, the renowned Mika, electro entertainer Bob Sinclar, and not to forget, cellist Gautier Capuçon, pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, and Polish countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński. Once again this year, all these talented performers were backed by the Lamoureux Orchestra, conducted by Adrien Perruchon. It's also worth noting that judoka and world champion Teddy Riner was once again at the helm of this incredible evening.
