Stade de France: the next concerts not to be missed

Metallica, Indochine, Madonna, AC/DC, U2, Muse and Céline Dion have all graced the legendary Stade de France stage. The stadium, located in Seine-Saint-Denis, is the largest in France, with 80,698 seats.

Inaugurated on January 28, 1998 for the Football World Cup, the Stade de France is the official stadium of the French Rugby and Football teams. Proof of its sporting appeal, the Stade de France is the only stadium in the world to have hosted so many major competitions, including the Football World Cup in 1998, the World Athletics Championships in 2003, the Rugby World Cup in 2007, three Champions League finals (2000, 2006 and 2022), Euro 2016, not to mention the new Rugby World Cup in 2023 and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024.

But the Stade de France is also known for opening its doors to numerous national and international artists, giving rise to some memorable concerts, such as those by Prince, Johnny Hallyday, who took over the venue 9 times, or more recently Coldplay. If you like numbers, the Stade France has hosted almost 500 events and nearly 35 million spectators since its inauguration in 1998!

And the Stade de France intends to continue making history, with a host of other shows as breathtaking as ever. Here's the proof with the next not-to-be-missed concerts in this immense stadium.
