AEG in France: World Class Venues at the Heart of Paris

AEG plays a leading role in France’s live entertainment landscape, anchored by a portfolio of world-class venues in partnership with the City of Paris. From large-scale arenas to iconic cultural spaces, AEG’s presence in the French capital brings together global talent, local culture, and exceptional fan experiences.

At the forefront is Accor Arena, Paris’ premier entertainment venue and one of Europe’s most renowned indoor arenas. With a capacity of up to 20,000, the state-of-the-art venue hosts a diverse calendar of international concerts, major sporting events, and global championships, including the ATP Masters 1000 Paris. Featuring expansive luxury hospitality spaces, Accor Arena has welcomed some of the world’s biggest artists, including Harry Styles, Elton John, Billie Eilish, and Justin Bieber.

Further strengthening this presence is adidas arena, a landmark development and the only purpose-built venue for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Located in the Porte de la Chapelle district, the 9,000-seat arena represents a major step in the area’s transformation and serves as a lasting legacy of the Games. Designed with sustainability and innovation at its core, adidas arena has quickly established itself as a leading destination for urban sports, music, and cultural events.

Complementing these large-scale venues is Bataclan, one of Paris’ most iconic live music spaces. With a capacity of 1,500, the venue is celebrated for its rich history and eclectic programming, hosting a wide range of artists across rock, pop, and electronic music. Its intimate setting continues to make it a key destination for both emerging talent and established performers.

Beyond venues, AEG’s footprint in France extends through AEG Presents France, which has been operating since 2018. The division promotes major international tours and supports a growing roster of local artists, while also playing a key role in the country’s festival landscape. AEG Presents France is a co-owner of Rock en Seine, one of Europe’s leading summer music festivals, held annually at the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud and in 2025, AEG further expanded its festival portfolio with the acquisition of We Love Green, a pioneering Paris-based festival known for its forward-thinking approach to music, sustainability, and culture.

Supporting these experiences is AEG’s ticketing platform, AXS, which delivers seamless, digital-first ticketing solutions across its venues and events, enhancing accessibility and the overall fan journey.

Through its partnership with the City of Paris, its portfolio of iconic venues, and its continued investment in live entertainment and culture, AEG is helping shape Paris as one of the world’s leading destinations for live experiences.
