Every year, numerous artists come together to perform for the benefit of Restos du Cœur. 2026 will be no different, as the beloved Les Enfoirés are set to return with a brand-new show. After its last edition in Montpellier in 2025, this talented troupe will now take over the iconic Accor Arena in Paris from January 13 to 19, 2026, inclusive. What’s on the schedule? Seven performances where star artists and personalities will sing together, revisiting some of the most beloved tracks from the French musical repertoire — and beyond.
As always, the full lineup of guest artists for the occasion will only be announced after the performances. However, we already know that Florent Pagny, Bénabar, and Alain Chamfort will be part of the lineup, along with Helena from Star Academy, the new face of this 2026 edition!
According to our colleagues at the Parisien, another talented artist has joined the ranks of the Class of 2026. Meet Esther Abrami. But who exactly is she? Here’s everything you need to know!
If her name doesn’t ring a bell, you’ve likely already heard her music. Esther Abrami is an extraordinary violinist. Hailing from Aix-en-Provence, Esther Abrami recently sold out the Olympia concert hall and performed the Champions League anthem at the Parc des Princes on June 1st, during PSG’s victorious celebration. She has also been named the godmother of the 12th season of the show "Prodiges" on France 2.
Before that, the composer and performer, hailed as the new star of classical music, earned multiple qualifications (from the conservatories of Aix-en-Provence, the Royal College of Music in London, and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire), along with several accolades. She was named a Rising Star by BBC Music Magazine and appointed Artist in Residence with the English Symphony Orchestra. Her career took off further as she gained widespread recognition through her various social media content.
In 2022, the violinist released her debut self-titled album. By April 2025, she had unveiled "Women", a record that highlights the talents of 14 pioneering female composers across history and explores a range of musical styles. The artist is also celebrated for her numerous collaborations, including work with DJ and producer Worakls, as well as with Tayc during his concert at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on November 10th, where they performed the track "Carry Me".
Recently, Esther Abrami was asked to compose and perform the original music for the new Enfoirés campaign, alongside the ensemble Plein Jeu. Titled "Cœur à Cœur", this piece can be found on "Nightlight", a fresh EP featuring nine tracks.
Several more artists are expected to join the lineup of these new recruits for the Enfoirés. Stay tuned!
