Rapper Naza back on stage at Bercy in April 2026: our review

A staple of Francophone party rap, Naza headlined a concert in Paris on April 20, 2026. Driven by his chart-toppers, his on-stage energy, and a sustained popularity that's showing no signs of fading, the artist promised a highly anticipated night at Bercy. Read our review.

Naza has over the years established himself as one of the leading figures on the French urban scene. Blending rap, Afrobeat influences, and Congolese rumba-inspired sounds, he built a distinctive musical identity that is instantly recognizable. Today he commands more than 4 million monthly listeners and has released six albums, with standout tracks like “Joli bébé” with Niska or “Ptain de mrd e.” He even had the France squad’s locker rooms buzzing during the 2018 World Cup!

The artist has booked another rendezvous at Bercy for April 20, 2026, after a first sold-out show. It was an opportunity to bring together longtime listeners and curious minds for a night whose promise was to make rap fans, won over by his universe, very happy.

It must be said that this legendary venue, located in the heart of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, presents a challenge, since Bercy is used to big productions. This new date therefore stood as a springtime meeting point for rap fans, and in particular for Naza. Tickets are already on sale.

Our take:

After a first sold-out date in October, Naza again lights up Paris with a show that gathered a host of guests, including Leto Guy2Bezbar, Anyme, Loris, Keblack, Gazo, and SDM. A true showman, Naza shares intimate moments with the audience, peppering the performance with winks to funny moments from his career.

The artist took the central stage, flanked by dancers and live musicians.

Yet the accompanying performers stayed mostly stationary, which meant they couldn’t always face every spectator. The staging also allowed the artist to turn his back to parts of the crowd, as happened during a particularly moving moment when he performed seated in a chair.

That didn’t stop Naza from creating a truly festive vibe on a Monday night. “Joli bébé” rang out at Bercy, despite Niska’s absence, with the crowd completely in sync, singing along with the singer. Overall, it was a big party, full of fun, especially when he rolled out a giant backpack and danced with a controller.
