It’s a secret to no one. Patti Smith loves France and Paris. And the French public returns the sentiment. After celebrating the 40^th anniversary of her legendary opus, “Horses” at the Olympia in October 2015, the punk priestess has announced to be back in France for a series of concerts in stadiums and arenas.

On the menu? The Musicalarue festival, the Cabaret Vert festival. Next, the rock icon from the 70’s will hit Marseille on August 19, Nice on August 20 and Lyon Transbordeur on August 21, 2019.

In addition to music, Patti Smith is also famous for her novels. In November 2018, the American artist released her latest work, “Devotion”, eight years after the success of the wonderful “Just Kids” and three years after “M Train”. On the occasion of the release, Patti Smith held several signing sessions in Parisian bookstores for her fans’ greatest joy.
