After stepping away from the spotlight for a while to focus on his movie career, the incredible Will Smith has decided to sing again, much to the delight of his fans. And this time, he's not looking towards the capital, but instead, just a few hours from Paris, as the American artist will meet us this summer in a truly iconic location in Vaucluse.
Double dose of Will Smith
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is back! Even though he hasn't released an album since 2005, Will Smith dropped a single a few months ago and is gearing up to make his second first steps on stage this summer. For this special event, he didn’t choose his home country, but instead, he’s coming to our beautiful hexagon, France. Indeed, the singer will perform this summer on the stage of the incredible Ancient Theatre of Orange, as part of the Positiv Festival.

Exceptional artist, exceptional venue
While for about fifteen years, Will Smith’s career has experienced a slight slowdown — no major hits since those he had with Men in Black in 1997, The Pursuit of Happyness in 2006, or I Am Legend in 2007 — the actor still remains one of the biggest Hollywood icons today, whose mere presence is enough to excite the crowds. After all, it’s his name that lights up the cast of Aladdin,in 2019, which brought such success to the film (the biggest at the box office of its career).
