Buoyed by the release of his 10th album, Pretty Girls Love Jok’Air, and on the heels of a triumphant 2025 tour that drew over 120,000 fans, Jok’Air is set to take on Europe’s largest venue: Paris La Défense Arena, on September 25, 2027. A PlayTwo event.
“UNCLASSIFIABLE AND IMBUED WITH FREEDOM”
Born on September 23, 1991, in Paris’s 18th arrondissement and raised in the Cité du Chevaleret housing project in the 13th arrondissement, Jok’Air began rapping at age 15 before co-founding the MZ collective in 2007. After the group disbanded in 2016, he launched his solo career in January 2017.
Nicknamed the most American of French rappers, Jok’Air has carved out a unique niche for himself: melodic rap, trap, soul and R&B influences, and raw, heartfelt lyrics. From Jok’Rambo (2018) to Jok’Travolta (2019, certified gold), including Jok’Chirac, VIe République, Melvin de Paris, and Les Jolies Filles aiment Jok’Air—which reached No. 4 on the charts upon its release in 2025—Jok’Air has racked up projects and certifications, album after album.
PRETTY GIRLS LOVE JOK’AIR
With *Pretty Girls Love Jok’Air*, his 10th album released in April 2025, Jok’Air solidifies a signature style all his own: polished productions with American influences, personal lyrics, and a keen eye for collaborations. The album shot straight into the top 5 of the French charts, driven in particular by collaborations with La Zowi, Dann, and Genezio.
THE BIGGEST CONCERT OF HIS CAREER
In 2022, Jok’Air performed at more than 30 venues across France, including an exclusive concert at the Olympia. In 2025, he took his career to the next level with a tour that was sold out from start to finish, culminating in a sold-out show at the Accor Arena in Paris on February 18, 2025, in front of more than 20,000 people.
The date for this historic event has now been set for Friday, September 25, 2027: Paris La Défense Arena, with its capacity, is the largest indoor venue in Europe.
