The Enfoirés concert, shot in January in Montpellier, was scheduled on TF1 in early March. Despite difficulties, the troop is back with new recruits and its traditional hymn.
The Enfoirés troop returned to a tradition which now reached 36 years in 2025, by occurring from January 14 to 20, in the south of France Arena de Montpellier. A series of 7 exceptional concerts entitled entitled “In the land of the Enfoirés” and for the benefit of Restos du Coeur, which have celebrated their 40th anniversary. Many faithful of the Enfoirés were still present on stage, such as Patrick Bruel, Jenifer, Michèle Laroque, Jean-Louis Aubert or Zazie.
However, the festivities were somewhat darkened this year by the remarkable absence of an essential figure in the bastards. The singer Slimane, at the heart of a harassment scandal, was allegedly dismissed from the touring by the organizers. The author of “Now”, the single of the Enfoirés 2021 and last candidate for Eurovision with “Mon Amour”, was accused in the fall by two technicians for facts which would have taken place on the night of December 17 to 18, 2023, during a party organized at the end of a concert in Saint-Étienne. A complaint for sexual assault has even been filed.
The 35 -year -old artist’s team invoked his international tour to justify his absence on the Enfoirés stage in January. But 20 minutes recalls that after two dates on January 8 and 9 at the Accor Arena in Paris, the winner of The Voice was “free” to a concert in Berlin on January 23. Several media consider that the organizers of the Enfoirés preferred to avoid the scandal and did not want to find themselves “in the same complicated logistical situation as a year ago, where one of the two complainants was part of the technical team and obviously did not want to cross it behind the scenes”.
And the Enfoirés 2025 are definitely marked by the difficulties since another star, Vianney, was the victim of a scooter accident in Paris on January 7. Seriously injured, the singer had a time hovering over his participation, but finally reassured his fans. He was present the Arena de Montpellier, despite his leg in the plaster. “Note for myself: the scooter in Paris is more risky than off-piste skiing,” joked the artist on Instagram.

Like every year, new stars joined the Enfoirés in 2025. After Gaëtan Roussel, Santa, Ycare and Claudia Tagbo last year, six renowned artists joined the troop this year, as the Parisian indicated: it is the winner of the Star Academy 2024 Pierre Garnier, of singer Jain, of the trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, Chamfort, table tennis champions Alexis and Félix Lebrun, humorist François-Xavier Demaison, Alex Lutz, the lyric singer Axelle Saint-Cirel and young Joseph Kamel, who co-wrote the new hymn of the Enfoirés with Daysy.
The Enfoirés is also a list of long absences like the arm every year. But among them, some are more noticed than others. On the one hand, we find the figures of the show which cannot or do not want to come for one reason or another. Besides Slimane, Lara Fabian, Mentissa, or Nicolas Canteloup could not respond to agenda or logistics reasons. Zaz invoked his participation in The Voice, Christophe Willem of family reasons.
In the second category, there are rather timid, sulky and some historic enemies of the Enfoirés. In short, those who refuse to associate with this show to appear or give themselves a good conscience. The list is long and even has ancient Enfoirés which more or less denounce an operation which has become gross or even moved, from Eddy Mitchell to Booba, via Julien Doré or Orelsan. Some personalities prefer not to explain their absence like Jean Dujardin, Alexandra Lamy, or Nathalie Baye. Others finally sail between voluntary boycott and new unwanted status, such as Gérard Depardieu, Dieudonné, or Jean-Marie Bigard.
This traditional hymn of the Enfoirés, entitled “Le Monde Tomorrow”, is a new call for solidarity and unity. Co-composed by the two young artists and sang among others by Angèle, Kendji Girac, Vianney or Zazie, he expresses the wish of a better world. “We have already been lost on the way, needed someone who stretches our hands (…). We will do everything we can have to no longer have the right, to be born in a world where some are hungry and cold”. A call still and always more crucial.
In addition to the annual song of the Enfoirés, the concert at the start of the year is an opportunity to resume, adapt to transform or stage sketches on a handful of headlines in the French repertoire. Difficult to be exhaustive, but here are the songs of the Enfoirés 2025 according to the pure charts site which published a setlist:
- Love’n’Tendresse
- Light
- Let me dance
- Miss
- Over time
- Good music
- Click clic pan pan
- On fire
- Hell
- Fragile animals
- Sarà perched ti Amo
- Beautiful
- Not had time
- NOW
- Together
- The world tomorrow
- The Restos Song
In the logic of Restos du Coeur, the Enfoirés show is never available in replay on the TF1 site. Indeed, the association seeks to sell the maximum of DVD and CD the day after the broadcast. The goal is to collect as much money as possible to help the most disadvantaged, it would be illogical to offer the free replay concert. Viewers who wish to review the program will have to get their hands on the wallet.
The CD and DVDs of the Enfoirés concert are on sale everywhere in France, in stores and on the Internet. Each sale allows the Restos du Coeur to distribute between ten and fifteen meals to those who need it. TF1 does not offer a replay of the Enfoirés concert for a simple reason: this would probably lower income from CD and DVD sales for restaurants of the heart.
