Chantal Lamarre’s Solo Show ‘Steppettes et cornemuse’ Premieres April 30, 2026
Chantal Lamarre’s first solo show, titled ‘Steppettes et cornemuse’, is set to premiere on April 30, 2026, at 7 PM, after being postponed due to adverse weather conditions. The announcement of the new date comes just 24 hours after the original premiere was scheduled, highlighting the unpredictability of outdoor events.
Lamarre, who has performed over 40 shows since launching her tour last summer, expressed her excitement about the upcoming performance. “Tant qu’à briser les hanches des corps de nos spectateurs, c’est remis.” she stated, reflecting her commitment to delivering an engaging experience for her audience.
The show, which has evolved since its initial launch, features a mix of songs, dance numbers, and karaoke, with Lamarre noting, “Certains bouts ont été coupés, d’autres ont évolué. Même le décor n’est plus le même qu’au début !” This evolution indicates her dedication to refining the performance to enhance audience enjoyment.
With a total of 108 performances planned, Lamarre will continue to tour across Quebec and beyond until 2027. The upcoming Festival d’été de Québec, scheduled from July 9 to July 19, 2026, will also feature notable artists such as Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Muse, and The Lumineers, marking the festival’s 58th edition.
Despite her extensive experience, Lamarre admits to feeling nervous before performances, saying, “J’ai du fun! J’en ai encore!” This sentiment resonates with many performers who grapple with stage fright, regardless of their level of experience.
As the new premiere date approaches, fans eagerly anticipate the show, which promises to be a vibrant celebration of music and dance. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional changes to the performance or set design as the date draws near.
