Jérémy Frérot: “Sand Kid” and a Summer Tour Set to Be Legendary
Summer hasn’t even arrived yet, and we’re already beaming with excitement. Why? Because word has it that the line-up for the Bénodet concerts has just been finalised, and it’s an absolute triumph. Of course, Jérémy Frérot is on the bill, continuing to get the whole country on its feet with his hit “Gamin des Sables”. If you thought you’d had your fill of this track that’s been dominating the airwaves for months, think again. Up on the Butte du Fort, the atmosphere promises to be electric, with the artist’s uniquely gravelly voice and that sea breeze carrying the melodies deep into your soul.
This track, Jérémy Frérot - Gamin des Sables, has been on repeat for us. And honestly, we’re not complaining. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you, a bit like a childhood memory buried in fine sand. The first time I heard it, I thought to myself, this is exactly what French pop has been missing this summer: sincerity, sunshine, and that way he has of telling simple stories without ever being cheesy. On stage, I can guarantee it’s going to be a real blast.
Bénodet 2026: A Seriously Impressive Line-Up of Mates
But don’t think for a second that Jeremy Frerot will be flying solo. The whispers around the Butte du Fort, that legendary spot, suggest something big is brewing. This summer, it’s going to be buzzing with the sound of headliners that bring back memories for all of us.
- Bénabar: the big comeback of the lyrical genius. Let’s just say tickets will vanish in a flash.
- Laam: yes, you read that right. “Partenaire Particulier” live on the Breton coast – it’s shaping up to be a moment of pure collective joy.
- Jérémy Frérot of course, who’ll be setting up his scene between the sea and the crowd.
What’s brilliant about this programme is that it doesn’t stick to just one style. You go from the raw emotion of Jérémy Frérot - Gamin des Sables to the infectious energy of the 90s with Laam, all rounded off with Bénabar’s humour and poetry. It’s a bit like a family gathering where everyone actually gets along. And we all know how rare that is.
Why You Can’t Miss This Event
If I could give you just one piece of advice, it would be this: lock in your dates as soon as you can. The folks in Bénodet are used to handling huge crowds, but capacity is going to be tight. Between the locals who know the magic of the place and holidaymakers stumbling upon this line-up by chance, it’s going to be absolute bedlam.
And let’s be honest, hearing Jérémy Frérot sing “Gamin des Sables” with your feet in the sand and the sound of the waves as a backdrop – that’s priceless. It’s the kind of moment that leaves you going home with stars in your eyes and a hoarse voice from singing your heart out. No point pretending otherwise – this is what we love about summer.
So, are you coming? I’ll be there, probably making a fool of myself at the front. And if you spot Jeremy Frerot enjoying the area before the show, just let him know we’re all ready to sing along to his Gamin des Sables. Because in the end, this summer, we’re all a bit like sand kids.
