A clean slate on social media usually signals a shift in direction, and Chris has followed that playbook to introduce his next phase. After clearing out his profiles earlier this month, the French singer and songwriter has confirmed a return to the Christine And The Queens banner with a fresh single, Rendez-Vous Avec Toi, set to arrive on Wednesday, November 4. The release will be quickly supported by four intimate European and UK appearances across December, visiting spaces designed for proximity rather than spectacle.
The first clues came when blanked out feeds gave way to photographs taken inside a recording studio. At the time, Chris offered a brief line to his followers, writing that the music had been cooked enough and that it was finally time to share what had been made. With the single now formally confirmed, he expanded on that sentiment in a reflective message, explaining that he had spent considerable time considering when to return starred with music so that he and his listeners could dream together once again.
The tour supporting the track skips arenas entirely in favor of an underplay format. The brief winter run begins on December 1 in Brussels at Botanique, crosses the Channel to London for a night at Scala on December 7, heads to Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam on December 8, and finishes at Paris venue Alhambra on December 10. Access to tickets requires advance planning, as entry is routed through an official newsletter sign up ahead of the general sale on Monday, November 2, at 9:30am GMT and 10:30am CET.
Chris framed the run as an essential reunion with his audience. Calling ticket holders comrades whom he has missed, he described the four club appearances as a shared live performance before the next journey begins. Stepping onto smaller stages gives artists a practical, low pressure room to gauge new arrangements and test out unreleased material directly, far removed from the logistics of major touring productions.
Rendez-Vous Avec Toi stands as the first new music under the Christine And The Queens name since the sprawling 2023 release Paranoïa, Angels, True Love. Chris remained prolific throughout the interim, adopting the moniker Rahim Redcar for the 2024 album Hopecore. Earlier this year, he also teamed up with Thee Diane for the single Ah Ya, extending a collaboration that began on stage at the Centre Pompidou in Paris last October. Thee Diane previously appeared on the sleeve for the 2022 album Redcar les adorables étoiles.
The past year of live work hinted at an artist looking back across his creative history. During an autumn 2025 concert in Paris, Chris revisited multiple tracks that had not appeared in his setlists for six years. The year also brought creative friction into the open, with Chris publicly voicing frustration earlier in 2025 regarding Lorde, accusing her of taking inspiration from his work without providing credit.
By pulling back into rooms like Scala and Botanique under his most widely known artistic identity, Chris is stripping away the outside noise. The forthcoming single and compact run of December concerts prioritize direct exchange, offering performer and crowd a quiet space to reconnect before the next chapter builds in scope.
