The Dôme de Paris - Palais des Sports is an emblematic venue located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, at Porte de Versailles. Since its creation in 1960, this modular venue - which can accommodate up to 4,600 spectators - has adapted to a wide variety of events!
The Dôme de Paris - Palais des Sports is famous for its shows, ranging from musicals such as"Le Roi Soleil", to concerts by renowned artists such as Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Mitchell, Michel Sardou, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits and Elton John, not to mention dance performances by major companies such as Maurice Béjart.
The history of the Dôme de Paris - Palais des Sports is both rich and surprising. As soon as it opened, the venue became a preferred venue for boxing matches, but also for rock concerts, a musical genre that was not well represented in other French venues at the time. The first international rock festival was held here on February 24, 1961, marking the beginning of the rock scene in France with artists such as Johnny Hallyday and the Chaussettes noires. The venue has also witnessed some dark historical events, such as the confinement of 8,000 Algerian demonstrators on the orders of police prefect Maurice Papon on October 17, 1961.
Over the years, the Dôme de Paris - Palais des Sports has welcomed more than thirty million spectators, as well as international music legends such as the Beatles in 1965, the Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong and Iggy Pop. The hall has also been a creative space for renowned dance artists such as Rudolf Nureyev and choreographer Maurice Béjart, who created his"Oiseau de feu" here in 1970.
Today, the Dôme de Paris - Palais des Sports offers an eclectic program, from dance shows to rock concerts, musicals and sporting events, as well as comedy shows.
