Michel Jonasz: Soul Tour Confirmed — Strasbourg and Amnéville Dates Set
michel jonasz is mounting a Soul Tour that will stop in Strasbourg and Amnéville in early March 2026, promising reworked Soul and R&B readings of his repertoire. He tells listeners he could not imagine touring without an Alsace stop and highlights deep ties to the city and its people. The tour centers on the album SOUL and reunites long-time collaborators for two nights of groove and reunion.
Show dates, venues and what the program is
The Soul Tour will reach PMC – Salle Erasme in Strasbourg on March 8, 2026 at 18: 00 ET and the Galaxie in Amnéville on March 7, 2026 at 20: 30 ET. The performance is built around the album titled SOUL, presented as the “heart” of the show, with songs rearranged along a Soul and Rhythm & Blues line. Promotional notes for the itinerary describe an orientation toward soul and groove, and the program promises a vibrant re-reading of a large body of songs spanning the artist’s career.
Michel Jonasz on Soul, friends and the band
Jonasz frames the project as both musical and personal. He says he could not imagine a tour without stopping in Alsace and emphasizes a practical attachment to Strasbourg: friends there, the wish to linger, to walk and to eat well. He describes the album SOUL as the core of the show and explains that songs have been rearranged with a clear Soul/Rhythm & Blues thread that guides the evening.
Onstage he will be joined by familiar names: Manu Katché on drums and Jean-Yves d’Angelo on keyboards. Jonasz highlights the fidelity of his team and the value of long-standing complicity: the musicians named have contributed to the realization and arrangements of the project and will rejoin him for the live shows. He frames the concert less as a technical exercise and more as a reunion, saying of music that it is not “just instruments and notes” but a bond that is woven between players and audience.
Immediate reactions, anecdotes and what fans can expect
Jonasz shared a lighter moment about the relation between song and listener, noting that a song also belongs to those who listen. He recounted an anecdote in a taxi where an audience member interpreted a classic in a way that the artist found unexpectedly free — a sign, he says, of the living relationship between performer and public. The emphasis throughout his remarks is on friendship, shared history and mutual admiration, elements he credits for the sound and energy of the live set.
Musically, listeners should expect reworked arrangements rooted in Soul and R&B, with an emphasis on groove and intimate ensemble interplay. The presence of the named collaborators signals continuity with past projects while steering the repertoire toward a warm, vocal-centric soul aesthetic.
Looking ahead, michel jonasz and his ensemble will take these performances as the next step of the Soul Tour; ticketing and local venue announcements will guide further dates and capacity details. The immediate next developments to watch are final set lists, guest appearances on the tour and how the reunion with Manu Katché and Jean-Yves d’Angelo shapes live interpretations of the SOUL material. A broader tour calendar and further local stops are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, keeping attention on how this soul-oriented rereading lands with multiple generations of listeners.
