Benvenuti chante Hallyday is much more than just a tribute band: it is a true immersion into the incandescent world of Johnny Hallyday, an iconic figure of French rock and idol of several generations.
Founded in 2013 in the Paris region, the band's mission is to revive the stage presence and musical power of Le Taulier. What makes them special? They passionately explore the blues, rock, and country dimensions of Johnny's repertoire, showcasing not only his greatest hits, but also rarer and sometimes lesser-known tracks, much to the delight of purists.
On vocals, Pierre Benvenuti intensely embodies the singer's energy and generosity. Without resorting to caricature, he recreates the spirit, power, and emotion that marked French stages for more than fifty years. Surrounded by experienced musicians, he offers a show faithful to the spirit of Johnny's concerts: roaring guitars, a solid rhythm section, and flamboyant brass.
With more than 300 concerts given in France and French-speaking countries, Benvenuti chante Hallyday has established itself as one of the most credible and appreciated tributes. Their show has even received the approval of Johnny's former musicians and close collaborators, who sometimes share the stage with them, such as:
Norbert Krief (known as “Nono”), iconic guitarist / Marc Demelemester (known as “Rocky”) / Alex Pedigon / Jacques Bessot
Their presence attests to the authenticity and quality of the project.
On stage, the atmosphere is electric, vibrant, and sincere. Each concert is designed as a celebration of French rock, combining emotion, power, and communion with the audience. Benvenuti chante Hallyday doesn't just cover songs: the band brings back an era, a voice, an attitude, and a unique musical legacy.
An intense and generous show that rekindles the flame of rock and plunges the audience back into the mythical world of France's greatest rocker.
