Bigflo & Oli at Place Bell | January 20, 2027

By Eli Thorne · July 20, 2026

Bigflo & Oli started rapping when Florian was nine and Olivio was six. Twenty-some years and five albums later, Karma — released March 13, 2026 — is a deliberate return to that foundation: “pure and sincere rap,” built from a year of freestyles aimed at recentering on writing and rap fundamentals.

About the Show

The brothers, Florian “Bigflo” Ordoñez (born 1993) and Olivio “Oli” Ordoñez (born 1996), grew up in the Minimes district of Toulouse, France, born to an Argentinian father and a French mother of Algerian descent. Both trained at the conservatoire de Toulouse since childhood (Florian on drums and piano, Olivio on trumpet) before shifting to rap. They released their first YouTube video in 2005, competed in battles for years, and signed to Polydor in 2013. Their debut, La Cour des grands (2015), made them the youngest duo in French rap to achieve gold certification. They have since amassed over one billion YouTube views, building a catalog around introspective lyrics that move between humor and genuine social observation.

Karma came after that accumulated momentum, and a deliberate pause. The pair spent 2025 in freestyle mode, described as “recentering on writing and rap DNA,” before committing the approach to an album. The result is “more brut, more rap” by their own framing: sharper, more direct, and leaning harder into fundamentals than anything they had made in years.

The Karma Tour launched October 2, 2026, with homecoming shows in Toulouse before moving through France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Accor Arena in Paris hosted back-to-back nights on October 19 and 20. The Laval show is the first of two Canadian dates closing out the entire run; Quebec City’s Centre Videotron follows two nights later on January 22.

For anyone following French hip-hop in North America, or just curious about what the bigger names in that lane are doing right now, the Laval date is a rare opportunity. The Karma Tour has kept almost entirely to Europe; Canada accounts for just two shows at the close of a run that otherwise did not cross the Atlantic.
