After seven years of absence, Stromae returns to the stage, bit by bit.

The artist has chosen to perform only at festivals this summer.

It was Thursday evening in Ruoms, in Ardèche, for the Aluna Festival to the delight of the 15,000 spectators who came to listen to him, dance and applaud him.

Stromae's big return to the stage.

The Belgian singer was Thursday in Ruoms in Ardèche for the Aluna Festival, the very first date of his tour which will go through most of the major festivals this summer.

15,000 people were able to applaud it, in a very warm atmosphere and not only because of the temperatures.

"He's such a total artist"

Aluna Festival spectators waited impatiently for Stromae.

For good reason, he had not made a scene for seven years.

On stage in the middle of robots and with his double animated on a giant screen, the Belgian singer appeared in good shape, mixing the more intimate titles of his last album released in March like 

L'enfer

Santé

 or 

Fils de joie. 

With his greatest hits like

Papaoutai

,

Formidable

or

All the same

.

The Ardèche public loved this reunion: "It's still just as huge, just as energetic, he's just as generous. He's really a stage artist above all!"

launches a spectator.

"It was great, a very, very nice concert. There is a beautiful scenography, it's super nice", says another.

"We are all smiling"

"We all smile, he's such a total artist, he sings and dances, he writes, he makes sound, he talks about himself and it touches even more people", underlines a fan.

"I found him true to himself. We missed him," says a last spectator.

Stromae will multiply the dates this summer.

In particular, it will be possible to see him at the Eurockéennes de Belfort at the end of June or at the Vieilles Charrues in July.
