Star Academy 2026

Daphné and I had a blast at the Star Academy 2026 Tour in Nice! I asked for these tickets WAAAAAYYY back in December 2025 for Christmas. She wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew since I went last year with Tonio and had a really great time. Daphné is now a big fan. Enjoy!

Ready for the tram and a little walk to the Palais Nikaïa with my girl. I love hanging out with this incredible human.

We are here for all of it, flashing flags and everything!

Opening act, Lowey.

The Greatest Show.

The headliner, Ambre. She was the winner of the competition that took place at the end of 2025.

A.P.T. by Rosé.

Daphné singing A.P.T. at the top of her lungs!

Who run the world by Beyoncé.

Ciel by GIMS. It was so fun to have these huge balloons floating around and being bounced up by the crowd. One came close to us, but we weren’t able to get to it.

Daphné singing Ciel with the several hundred other people who know it.

Feel Good by Charlotte Cardin.

Parisienne by GIMS.

This singer, Mélissa, was really cute and fun to watch.

If you’d like to have a tiny glimpse of the singers the the fun, you can watch this Official Star Academy music video for the 2025-2026 group.

I’m thankful for moments like these with our kids. I love the joy that Daphné and I feel when we sing and dance! After the show, she looked at me and said, “I have to do singing class, mama!” It’s so incredible to see what our kids enjoy as we try to encourage them as best as we can.

Love Linz
