Christine and the Queens returns with new single and tour

French singer-songwriter Christine and the Queens—known for genre-blending pop and electrifying performances—has released Rendez-vous Avec Toi, the lead single from his upcoming album, set for spring 2027. Alongside the track, he has announced four sold-out, full-band shows in Brussels, London, Amsterdam, and Paris this December, offering fans a first listen to new material from the record.

The new single arrives in both French (Rendez-vous Avec Toi) and English (Rendez-vous In Your Arms), accompanied by a music video co-directed by the artist and Raphaël De Albuquerque. The track revisits the synth-pop and disco influences of his earlier work, blending 1980s aesthetics with modern production. Chris describes it as "the new interstellar traveling of Christine and the Queens," drawing inspiration from New York jazz, Giorgio Moroder’s grooves, and a sense of cosmic celebration.

A return to the stage

After a year of collaborations—including a viral moment with electronic producer Logic1000—Christine and the Queens is stepping back into the spotlight with a short but highly anticipated tour. The four intimate shows will feature a full band, including longtime collaborators Vincent Taeger, Vincent Taurelle, Adrian Edeline, and Karl Onibuje. Chris has promised a mix of fan favorites and unreleased tracks, framing the performances as a shared journey with his audience.

• Brussels: Botanique – 1 December 2026
• London: Scala – 7 December 2026
• Amsterdam: Tolhuistuin – 8 December 2026
• Paris: Alhambra – 10 December 2026

All dates sold out within hours of the presale on 2 November, underscoring the artist’s dedicated fanbase.

The sound of a new era

Rendez-vous Avec Toi signals a return to the melodic, effervescent style that defined Christine and the Queens’ breakthrough. The single’s playful yet introspective lyrics—centered on devotion, mystery, and shared dreams—reflect Chris’s signature blend of vulnerability and theatricality. In his own words, the track is about "the electricity [that] remains eternally mysterious," a theme that has long resonated in his music.

The upcoming album follows PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE (2023) and the 2025 EP Catching Feelings, which featured disco legend Cerrone. While details about the new record remain sparse, fans can expect more of the genre-fluid, emotionally charged pop that has become his trademark.

Why it matters

Christine and the Queens has spent over a decade redefining pop music, merging French chanson, synth-pop, and contemporary electronic influences. His work often explores identity, desire, and human connection, delivered with a flair for theatrical performance. This new single and tour mark another chapter in his evolution, offering a bridge between his past and future sound.

For those who missed the December shows, the spring 2027 album release will be the next major milestone. Until then, Rendez-vous Avec Toi serves as a tantalizing preview of what’s to come.
