After filling up the Dรฉfense Arena in Paris three times, Damso will come to Nice on April 25, 2026, as part of his new tour, the BฤYฤH Tour. The Belgian artist promises an immersive stage experience around his latest album and his iconic tracks.
A few minutes. Thatโs how long it took for all the tickets for the three Paris concerts of Damso, scheduled for May 2026 at the Dรฉfense Arena, to be sold out. Due to this enthusiasm, the Belgian rapper is adding a new date to his tour: Nice, on April 25, 2026, at the Palais Nikaรฏa.
William Kalubi Mwamba, known as Damso, 33 years old, was born in Kinshasa before growing up in Brussels. In just over ten years, he has established himself as a central figure in French-speaking rap. His first mixtape, Salle dโattente, released in 2014, laid the foundation for a unique and introspective universe. Quickly noticed by Booba, he rolled out project after project with great success. His albums have amassed millions of plays, and several of his tracks are certified gold, platinum, or diamond. His latest, Impardonnable, has just received a diamond single certification.
The Nice concert is part of the BฤYฤH Tour, an international tour that will pass through France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada. Three years after the QALF Tour, Damso is preparing a new show designed as a celebration of his career and the bond he shares with his audience.
His passage on the French Riviera wonโt be a first. The artist has already graced local stages, notably at the Plages รlectroniques in Cannes in 2022. But this time, it is a return solo, in a venue that has already hosted several major international stars like Lenny Kravitz this year.
Between introspection and renewal
The BฤYฤH Tour takes its name from Damso’s latest album, released in 2024. This project achieved the third best start of the year and was certified gold in one week. In this introspective record, the artist explores themes of identity, solitude, and fame. Some fans saw it as a possible farewell to music, with Damso hinting that this album could be the last.
On stage, he promises a โrare, intense, and immersiveโ experience. The tour will feature ambitious staging, blending visuals, lights, and crafted sounds to enhance the live emotion. The audience will be able to rediscover his classics โ Macarena, BruxellesVie, Amnรฉsie, Nwaar Is The New Black โ as well as the more recent tracks from BฤYฤH.
Furthermore, Damso continues to expand his artistic universe. He is multiplying collaborations beyond rap, such as with Kendji Girac or the Nice singer Eva (Queen), for whom he co-wrote Page Blanche. He is also interested in fashion and cinema, hinting at the possibility of new projects outside the musical scope.
Presales for the Nice concert will open on Thursday, November 6 at 12 PM on damso.com and nikaia.fr. General sales will begin on Friday, November 7 at 12 PM at usual outlets.
Stars will flock to Nice in 2026
With this announcement, Nice confirms its growing place in the circuit of major international tours. In 2026, the city will host several top artists. The Weeknd will perform at the Allianz Riviera on July 21 and 22, 2026, two dates added due to high public demand. American singer Pitbull will give a unique concert in France on July 12, 2026, also at the Allianz Riviera.
Thus, Damso will be the first to open the international music season on the French Riviera, a few months before these major summer events. A way for Nice to strengthen its cultural appeal and secure a lasting place on the global touring map.
On April 25, 2026, at the Palais Nikaรฏa, the Belgian rapper will share part of his journey with his fans, between introspection and stage power. An event eagerly awaited by a loyal audience, curious to discover the new facet of an ever-evolving artist.
