That’s it, the rocket is launched! The long-awaited tour of the cult group Sexion d’Assaut began on Friday March 25 in Epernay. The public who came in large numbers to witness the return of the collective was over the moon.
The historical members of the group were indeed reunited on stage, almost a decade later… For the occasion, the spectators were able to attend the performances of the essential Gims, FABlack M but also Maska, Barack Adama, Doomams and JR O Crom. The group, which has risen to cult status since the success of their two albums at the turn of the 2000s and 2010s, The school vital points and The Apogee gave a real boost of nostalgia to the lucky ones who had their place and who were able to hear the most famous titles of the band from Paris, Wati by night, Sorry, My direction…
As a reminder, in 2012, the members had decided to separate to pursue solo careers. Black M, Lefa have had many successes but it is Gims, the leader in sunglasses, who has experienced the most dazzling rise. Indeed, the one who was formerly called Maitre Gims, had resounding success in solo with three variety albums sold more than 1 million copies (Subliminal, My heart was right, Black belt) and a rap album that sold more than 200,000 copies (The scourge). The singer had also launched a lively controversy at the time of the holidays of the new year, which had led him to discuss with Valérie Pecresse.
Finally, at the end of 2021, the group announced its reformation for a tour as well as a new album. This will be called Return of the Kings, and will be available on May 14, 2022, which is 10 years after their last. The tour will take place throughout France. The group will perform tonight in Toulouse on March 28 then continue in Limoges on March 30, Clermont-Ferrand on March 31, Angoulême on May 3, Caen on May 5, Rennes on May 6…
