Due to Aya Nakamura's three concerts scheduled at the Stade de France on May 29, 30 and 31, 2026, traffic restrictions are being announced around the Île-de-France stadium. Here's what you need to know.

It's a marathon that Aya Nakamura plans to run this weekend! The francophone star is setting up shop at the Stade de France this Friday 29, Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 May 2026 for three colossal shows that are sure to thrill her fans. For now, it's unclear what Aya Nakamura has in store, but it's expected that her biggest hits will roll out over the three consecutive evenings. Special guests are also expected to drop by and potentially surprise us.

While waiting to see Aya Nakamura perform some of her biggest hits, concertgoers should get ready to head to the Stade de France. And as you might guess, there’ll likely be a crowd on May 29, 30 and 31 around the Paris-region stadium. The mission promises to be challenging. Two options are on the table: take public transport or opt for a car or motorbike. But beware, plan ahead if you choose the second option, because traffic restrictions are announced around the stadium on Friday May 29, Saturday May 30 and Sunday May 31, 2026. This is indicated by the road information site Sytadin. So, what should we expect this weekend near the Stade de France? We’ve got the answers.

The off-ramp No. 2 of the A1 motorway (Paris to the provinces) is closed from 10:15 p.m. on event days until 1:00 a.m. the following day, "for safety reasons," authorities say. If you need to use the A86 (outer belt toward Nanterre), note that off-ramp No. 9 will be closed from 9:45 p.m. on concert days until 1:30 a.m. the following day.

Another restriction? The exit ramp No. 8 of the A86, from the outer carriageway toward the collector road heading for Saint-Denis Pleyel, will be closed from 10:45 PM on concert days until 1:30 AM the following day. Finally, the bretelle d’accès N°9 will have its shoulder neutralized from 4:00 PM to 1:30 AM the next day, while the right-hand lane of the A86, in the outer direction upstream of exit No. 8, will also be neutralized from 9:45 PM to 1:30 AM.

Given these numerous restrictions, attendees are advised to prioritise public transport, including the RER B and D, as well as Paris Metro lines 13 (Saint-Denis – Porte de Paris) and 14 (Saint-Denis – Pleyel).
