An unmissable musical and charitable event is on the horizon! The Gala des Pièces Jaunes will make its return to Paris in early 2026, promising a new edition full of emotion. As a reminder, the Gala des Pièces is a grand evening of solidarity held as part of the Pièces Jaunes campaign. Now in its fourth edition, the Gala des Pièces Jaunes is a prime opportunity to raise as many donations as possible for the Hospitals 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.
