Neil Hannon leads The Divine Comedy in a show built on orchestral pop, British irony and a gentle melancholy. Driven by the new album Rainy Sunday Afternoon—recorded at Abbey Road Studios—the music blends baroque-inspired harmonies with lush string arrangements and wry, introspective songwriting. The performance alternates theatrical flourishes and intimate, wistful moments, creating a refined emotional landscape where humour and sadness coexist, carried by elegant melodies that bridge classical textures and timeless pop sensibilities.
In early January 2022, two construction vehicles belonging to a Swiss multinational were set on fire at a gravel pit in the Geneva countryside. Over a year later, a young man — referred to as Jérémy — was arrested and suspected of involvement in the arson. Held in pre-trial detention, he was released after more than three months, following strong public support and mobilization.
