Considered by many as the cultural capital par excellence, Paris abounds in all kinds of outings. In addition to monthly exhibitions in the capital's museums, the City of Light also plays host throughout the year to numerous artists to see and hear in concert. Paris has no shortage of concert venues. From the smallest to the largest arenas, concert halls and concert venues are a delight for many live music lovers.
Among them, of course, is the Paris La Défense Arena. Considered Europe's largest indoor venue, the Paris La Défense Arena is characterized by its incredible versatility, with a capacity of between 15,000 and 40,000 spectators. The venue, designed by architect Christian de Portzamparc, can be adapted to any type of event! In the summer of 2024, the Ile-de-France venue has even installed two large pools to host the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In autumn 2017, Paris La Défense Arena was inaugurated in the Hauts-de-Seine region of Paris, with several concerts by The Rolling Stones on the menu. Since then, many other national and international artists have taken to the stage, including Roger Waters in June 2018, Booba in October 2018, Paul McCartney in November 2018, Mylène Farmer in June 2019, Rammstein in June 2018, Pink in July 2019 and June 2023, DJ Snake in February 2020, and more recently Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Michel Sardou, Calogero, Imagine Dragons, Guns N'Roses and, of course, Taylor Swift!
