Omar Rudberg Sets Paris Ablaze with Electric Bataclan Performance

The legendary Bataclan in Paris witnessed a sold-out performance by Omar Rudberg, drawing 1,500 enthusiastic fans for his “Every Night Fantasy Tour”. The Swedish star kicked off the evening at 8 PM with “Bye Bye”, a track from his latest album, immediately igniting the crowd’s enthusiasm.

Rudberg’s journey to stardom began early – he was a member of FO&O in 2013 before embarking on a solo career in 2017. His breakthrough came in 2019 with “Om om och om igen” reaching the Swedish Top 20. On October 18, 2024, he released his highly anticipated debut album “Every Night Fantasy”, featuring hits like “Girlfriend”, “Bye Bye”, and “Talk”.

The crowd went wild during performances of “Mi Casa Su Casa”, “Simon’s Song”, and “Girlfriend”. His latest single “I’m Not a Boy” featured a surprise fan project – during the lyrics “I’m not a boy, I’m not a girl, I am an alien out of this world”, the entire venue held up signs featuring aliens, visibly moving Rudberg. Every song was sung passionately by the audience. Midway through the set, he included a cover of Rihanna’s “Rude Boy”.

The setlist was diverse, featuring both new and old hits. “Simon’s Song”, which his character Simon performed in “Young Royals”, particularly resonated with fans. The show concluded with “Sabotage”, a catchy track from his latest album, with the audience enthusiastically singing and dancing along.

Accompanied by two dancers and his band, Rudberg delivered an energetic performance from start to finish. Beyond his vocal talents, he proved himself an accomplished dancer, captivating the audience with this dual talent. It was an unforgettable night of music and dance that left a lasting impression on his fans.
