En full encore on its famous title “The Last Day of Disco”, Juliette Armanet’s concert was briefly interrupted. Around 10:30 p.m., an alarm sounded inside the hall of the Accor Arena as the performance, broadcast live on Canal +, was coming to an end. On the speakers, messages invited the spectators on the spot to go to the emergency exits, without explaining the reason, as related The Parisian.

A concert appreciated by the public, as evidenced by the messages on social networks who laugh at the event: “Juliet Armanet burned Bercy what! »
