Mass Hysteria "Sans Détour", 30 years of metal, Châteaurenard
On Saturday 21 November 2026 at 20:30 the Espace Culturel et Festif de l'Étoile in Châteaurenard, a town in the Bouches-du-Rhône near Avignon, hosts Mass Hysteria in its Sans Détour format, in a standing pit with doors at 20:00. The listing explains that after a tour of 120 dates the French metal band wants intimate evenings close to its fans. Thirty years of career are evoked in a 45-minute question-and-answer session with the band, followed by a retrospective concert covering the whole discography. A museum-style exhibition by Corentin Charbonnier, curator of the metal exhibition at the Philharmonie, and a meet and greet after the concert complete the experience. The organiser is Les Passagers du Zinc, and tickets start at 32.99 euros. A standing metal crowd is welcoming to fans who come alone, since everyone shares the same songs. «Sans filtre, sans carapace, sans esbroufe, sans détour, voilà comment les MASS HYSTERIA veulent se présenter à leur public.» Starts 20:30, ends about 23:00.
