This concert is also the official launch of SONSDENIT 2026 — a carefully curated opening with an artist who can make a detail feel like an event.  

Some artists sing to be liked. John Grant sings to tell it straight. To put music to the things we usually keep tucked away: tenderness, rage, shame, dark humour… and that hard-won clarity that arrives when you’ve got nothing left to prove.

Following the impact of The Art Of The Lie — an album that manages to feel lush and cutting at once, full of bite and brilliance, yet still able to stop you in your tracks with a bare-hearted ballad — Grant opens his new European tour in Inca with a show made for close listening: an intimate grand-piano performance.

In a setting like this, each song shifts shape: what glows like neon on record can become a confession; what reads as irony can suddenly sound like the plain truth. That unmistakable baritone — warm, precise, theatrical when it wants to be, fragile when it needs to be — doesn’t just perform: it inhabits. And between songs, Grant’s way of looking at the world (sometimes with a sharp laugh, sometimes with a knot in the throat) turns the night into more than a recital: a conversation in low light.
