The Expat (French: L'Expatriée) was the first concert residency by American singer-actress Monica Vinco at Plenitude Arena in Nanterre, France. Launched in support of her sixth studio album, 2/5 (2027), the 25-date residency commenced on June 21, 2027, and continued its run until August 16 of the same year.

Conceived as a "love letter" to Paris, the 3.5 concert was conceptualized around French culture, neo-noir thrillers, and cabaret. Production included a main stage designed after the Cour Napoléon, with a 60-foot-tall rotating LED pyramid resembling the Louvre Pyramid for backdrops, and a B-stage was inspired by the roundabout of the Place du Carrousel and featuring a rising, inverted pyramidal platform. The extensive setlist featured nearly forty songs, comprised of tracks from Vinco's discography and covers of French popular songs. The Expat was critically acclaimed for its visuals, choreography, wardrobe, production design, cultural references, and Vinco's showmanship.

The Expat incited a media frenzy, entitled "Vincomanie" by the French press, around the singer's career and series Manic and opened discussions on France–United States relations and asylum in France. It was also a commercial success with a revenue of $98.8 million, boosting the French economy for throughout the months of November and December. On December 31, 2027, Vinco released a live album—entitled Monica Vinco Presents: The Expat—and a concert special of the same name was broadcast on HBO. On February 18, 2028, all of Vinco's past concert films received live album releases.

Background and development

In the summer of 2025, Vinco had taken up residence alongside The Rive Gauche in Paris, France; later selling her estate in Glendale, California, and moving to the city full-time by early 2026. Throughout 2026, Vinco began conceiving her sixth studio album 2/5 and the fourth season of One of the Boys , filmed her scenes in The Batman: Part II, and had been casted in a remake of Fatal Attraction (1987). The singer announced her sixth studio album 2/5 on January 4, 2027, succeeded by the release of its lead single, “Loverboy”. On February 21, Vinco stated, due to her busy filming schedule, she could not provide a full-scale tour, and, instead, decided to take the opportunity to "thank Paris for welcoming her with open arms" with a twenty-five-date residency at Plentiude Arena in Nanterre. The presale took place on February 25, 2027, with the general sale taking place February 28. The extensive run became the longest concert series at the stadium for a single year, breaking Celine Dion's sixteen-date from the previous year. Rehearsals took place in mid-April, following the filming of One of the Boys' third season, and continue until the opening date on June 19. Following the residency, Vinco would go onto film Fatal Attraction.
