The Georgia Straight proudly sponsors La Bronze and Paul Piché

On June 17, La Bronze and Paul Piché take over Unis TV Stage (West 7th, between Granville and Fir) as part of the 28th Festival d’été francophone de Vancouver.

The annual Festival d’été francophone de Vancouver celebrates summertime and explores francophone culture with an eclectic selection of concerts.

This year, music fans can take in performances by headlining artists up-and-coming electro rocker La Bronze and folk-rock singer-songwriter Paul Piché.

La Bronze, the stage name of Quebec-born singer-songwriter Nadia Essadiqi, garnered international attention with her Arabic cover of Stromae's "Formidable", which has garnered over two million views on Youtube since its fall 2015 release.

Paul Piché will be marking a four-decades-long carreer with a show that revisits his sizeable repertoire, which includes song such as "Heureux d'un printemps", "Moi j'raconte des histoires", and "Essaye donc pas".

The concert is expected to start at 7 p.m. and end at 10:30 p.m., although there will be free activities outside from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Tickets for La Bronze and Paul Piché are available online.
