Paris La Défense Arena: several announcements expected after the Games

Since July 27, Paris La Défense Arena has been vibrating to the rhythm of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Europe's largest indoor venue has been transformed into an Olympic swimming pool to host the swimming and para-swimming events, as well as the water polo finals.

It was at Paris La Défense Arena that Léon Marchand pulled off a remarkable feat, winning five Olympic medals. Florent Manaudou won bronze in the 50 m freestyle. On August 29, French fans were once again delighted when Ugo Didier won gold in the 400 m freestyle, France's first Paralympic Games title.

After September 8, the venue will return to its usual configuration: that of Europe's largest indoor venue, able to accommodate up to 45,000 spectators per evening, as was the case for Taylor Swift's concerts. Rugby will also be making a comeback. And announcements are expected to be made. Bathilde Lorenzetti, vice-president of Paris La Défense Arena, told BFM Business on August 30.

" We're about to announce a major international concert by a rock band on November 3," said Bathilde Lorenzetti. So, who is it? " No, it's not Oasis," clarified the vice-president of Paris La Défense Arena. On the other hand, " we have a lot of big concerts planned for this season and next ", she added, adding that " there will be an announcement effect after the Games ". For the time being, the Hauts-de-Seine venue remains focused on the Paralympic Games, and is also waiting for the " go-ahead from the producers " to make these announcements.
