Christine and the Queens has four shows booked for December: Brussels, London, Amsterdam and Paris. They share the name Rendez-vous with the new single being promoted through the artist’s website. “Rendez-vous avec toi/Rendez-vous in your arms” comes out on November 4, ahead of a run beginning at Botanique on December 1.

The first show is at Botanique in Brussels on December 1. London follows six days later at Scala, with Amsterdam’s Tolhuistuin the next evening and Paris’s Alhambra rounding things off on December 10. Four shows occupy ten calendar days. Only London and Amsterdam are back to back, a useful detail if you are considering travelling to both.

The fan presale comes first, on Monday, November 2. To reach it, the artist’s website directs listeners to a newsletter form which asks for a first name, an email address and a phone number as required fields. The advertised start is 10:30am French time: 9:30am in London, or 12:30pm in Turkey. Filling in that registration is one step; buying a ticket when the sale opens is another.

For London, the promoter has put general sale on Tuesday, November 3 at 9:30am local time. That is 12:30pm in Turkey as well. It is easy to copy the hour and overlook the day: Monday is the advertised fan presale, Tuesday the London general sale. Both open before the new single is due to be released.

Scala’s introduction to the show looks back to PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. The 2023 album was co-produced with Mike Dean, with Madonna and 070 Shake among its contributors. Fans have that part of the catalogue to revisit while waiting for November 4. The announcement has not named any guests for these December performances.

What to know about the London stop

Scala’s admission rules are worth reading before booking a trip. This is a standing show for people aged sixteen and over. Bring original physical photo ID; a photograph of a document on your phone will not meet the requirement. The door time is 7:30pm and the advertised finish is 10:30pm. Those three hours cover the event, rather than confirming the length of Christine’s set.

There are two days between the fan presale and the single’s release. Buying early therefore means deciding on a concert before this new song is available. Wait until November 4 to hear it and you will need to check the remaining ticket availability after both advertised sale openings. There are then twenty-seven days before Brussels, leaving a few weeks with the recording before the first show.
