On February 16, Mika made his grand return to the Accor Arena for the tour of his new album Hyperlove. An album 100% in English, exploring the modern world, everyday life, and love in all its forms.

The entrance is spectacular. Mika appears inside a huge mechanical wheel, evoking the world of Charlie Chaplin and his film “Modern Times.” We are immediately plunged into a silent-movie setting, somewhere between industrial poetry and retro-futuristic aesthetics.

He starts running inside the wheel as it slowly descends toward the stage. Then, in one perfectly timed moment, he makes his full appearance. Black suit, simple yet truly elegant — it’s pure Mika DNA.

The show opens with “Modern Times,” a particularly fitting choice to introduce both the album and the visual universe of the set. The parallel between the song and the staging works instantly.

For this tour, Mika is backed by a full band: backing vocalists in glitter trousers, a pianist, bassist, guitarist, and drummer. A complete formation that gives the show both pop energy and a real live performance dimension. The audience discovers a brand-new album and can appreciate every detail, every arrangement.

The concert starts strong. He follows with “Relax, Take It Easy,” truly launching the night. From the very first notes, the crowd begins jumping and dancing.

Mika turns his life-size set into a real playground. He moves around, climbs, and explores the space. Several times, he perches high above on a mechanical structure, dominating the stage.

He is visible from everywhere — a real asset in a venue of this size. Even from the highest seats. This visual proximity shows that he doesn’t just want to give a concert; we are witnessing a carefully crafted spectacle, with total immersion into his universe.

Mika overflows with energy. He is a true showman, fully inhabited by the stage, constantly moving and interacting with his audience.

The concert moves between Hyperlove tracks and his iconic songs such as “We Are Golden” and “Big Girl (You Are Beautiful).” During this song, Mika goes into the audience, walking through the stands and the pit, which he playfully calls the “Enfants Terribles of Hell,” while the stands represent Paradise.

Outfit changes also mark the evening. At one point, he appears in a pink suit and laughs, saying, “You thought I had forgotten pink?” Later, he returns in a green sequined outfit, fully embracing the colorful aesthetic that defines his artistic identity.

Hyperlove, he explains, is an album about love — love in all its forms. On stage, Mika shares that he explored deeper, more personal sides of himself. He even wrote a song for his dog.

The idea came after asking himself what form of love he had not yet explored. He had recently said in an interview that we do not talk enough about the love we have for our animals.

On “Spinning Out,” Mika sings inside a wheel that keeps turning endlessly, reinforcing the idea of constant movement.

We should also mention the dedication of Mika’s fans, who filled the Accor Arena with colorful balloons during “Happy Ending,” surprising the singer. Moved by the sight, he says he has “the most beautiful view in Paris.”

The finale is explosive: “Lollipop,” starting almost whispered, then “Grace Kelly,” before a rainbow rises from the piano, followed by “Elle Me Dit” and “Love Today” to close in full celebration.

The scenography is incredible: a giant megaphone/cannon with “Hyperlove” written in bold letters appears on stage. Then a rain of confetti fills the Accor Arena.

On February 16, Mika once again proved he was made for the stage. Between overflowing energy, spectacular staging, and more intimate moments around Hyperlove, he delivers a generous and sincere show. A colorful, vibrant concert that brings all generations together.
