Canadian singer Garou will perform in Prague on 2 October 2026 at the Prague Congress Centre as part of his European “Best of” tour.

The show marks his return to the city after a sold-out concert in 2023 and will feature a full big band arrangement combining his most popular songs with newer material.

Garou remains one of the most recognisable voices in French-language music over the past two decades. Known for his rough, expressive tone and strong stage presence, he first reached international fame at the end of the 1990s and has maintained a loyal audience across Europe and Canada.

Born Pierre Garand in Sherbrooke, Quebec, he grew up in Canada and studied music from an early age. Before his breakthrough, he performed in bars and small venues, building his reputation through live shows.

His career changed in 1997 when he was cast by lyricist Luc Plamondon as Quasimodo in the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. The role brought him instant international attention and led directly to his solo career.

His debut album Seul, released in 2000, became one of the most successful French-language records of its time. It was followed by a series of albums that sold millions of copies worldwide. His duet with Céline Dion, Sous le vent, became a major hit in 2001 and topped charts in the Francophone world.

Over the years, Garou has received several major awards, including the Victoires de la Musique, Félix Awards, and the World Music Award. He was also named Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contribution to music and culture. He later became known to television audiences as a coach on The Voice in both France and Québec.

His latest album, Un Meilleur Lendemain (2025), shows a more personal direction, with lyrics focused on life changes, relationships, and reflection. The project also includes a song written by his daughter, adding a more intimate layer to his recent work.

The Prague concert will feature a mix of career-spanning material, including songs from Notre-Dame de Paris, solo hits like Gitan, selected rock covers, and new tracks from his latest album. Garou will present himself both as performer and songwriter, combining older material with a more recent, reflective style.
