A unifying artistic programme
The 2026 edition of the "Ça, c'est le Sud" tour brought together iconic artists from the French-speaking scene.
Julie Zenatti, an artist revealed by the musical "Notre-Dame de Paris" and whose solo career has been marked by success for over twenty years, brilliantly headlined the event.
She shared the stage with the Corsican trio Bande à Part, from Ajaccio, known for their festive covers of the greatest French and international hits. And with Le Chœur du Sud, considered one of the largest vocal ensembles in Europe with its 10,000 choir members.
Founded and directed by Frank Castellano, it has accompanied the tour since its creation with a popular and intergenerational repertoire.

"Music is made to bring people together and create moments of sharing. I am very happy to participate in the tour [...] and to meet the public in these beautiful cities, in a warm, festive summer atmosphere," confided Julie Zenatti.
"Singing brings generations together and creates unique moments. The Ça c’est le Sud tour is a wonderful opportunity to make the region's cities vibrate with the energy of thousands of choir members," added Frank Castellano, founder of Le Chœur du Sud.
For the group Bande à Part, the event is a natural fit.
"Participating in La Tournée Ça c’est le Sud means rediscovering the spirit of the great popular Mediterranean festivals, with music, sharing, and a lot of energy with the audience," concluded the trio.
