Will Smith to Perform First-Ever Concert in France on July 31

Will Smith is set to perform at the international POSITIV Festival at the Roman Theatre of Orange in France on July 31. 

The performance will mark Smith’s first concert in France, who is making his return to the music industry and reportedly working on a new album.

Smith recently released a new single, dubbed “Work of Art,” along with its music video. The song is said to be the lead single for Smith’s new album and features his son Jaden Smith and Russ on vocals. 

The actor and “Gettin’ Jiggy With It” singer also made an appearance during J. Balvin’s Coachella gig in April. 

He followed by delivering the first live performance of his song “You Can Make It” at the BET Awards in June, and a surprise appearance at La Velada Del Año 4 earlier this month.
