Indochine announces a new concert date in Paris for their 2026 "Arena Tour"

To celebrate the release of their 14th studio album, "Babel Babel," Indochine is launching a new French tour dubbed the "Arena Tour"! Fans in the capital can catch Nicola Sirkis and his bandmates live at Paris’s Accor Arena on Wednesday the 25th, Friday the 27th, and Saturday the 28th of February, as well as Tuesday the 3rd, Wednesday the 4th, Friday the 6th, and Saturday the 7th of March 2026. Due to overwhelming demand, the band has added an eighth Paris date—an additional show on Tuesday, February 24th, 2026, once again at the Accor Arena.

Three years after"Le Central Tour", Indochine are back on the road in France! This time, no stadiums, but an indoor tour dubbed the"Arena Tour". On the menu? A series of shows all over France, with stops in a dozen cities, including Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Nantes, Rouen and Dijon. And in each city, the band is planning several concerts!

In the capital, fans already had the chance to experience this new Indochine tour at the Accor Arena in Paris on June 17, 18, 20, and 21, 2025. Unsurprisingly, tickets flew off the shelves, and all four Paris shows quickly sold out. To meet high demand, Indochine has now added seven more dates at the Accor Arena, scheduled for this coming February and March—namely Wednesday 25, Friday 27, and Saturday 28 February, as well as Tuesday 3, Wednesday 4, and Friday 6, Saturday 7 March 2026. And apparently, that's still not enough, since a eighth date has been announced for the Paris venue in 2026. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 24, for the final stop of the Arena Tour! For tickets (including the new date on the 24th), don’t miss the sale starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, December 17.

This new tour is an opportunity for Indochine to perform live tracks from their new and 14th studio opus. Entitled"Babel Babel", this 17-track double disc follows on from"13", released in 2017. Five years later, in 2022, the band led by Nicola Sirkis created a buzz with their memorable"Le Central Tour". Described as " the tour of all records ", this 6-concert tour of French stadiums (Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon and Lille) drew 417,799 spectators. The scenography also amazed audiences, with a 150-ton steel structure, a 2,500 m² video screen made up of 1,400 LED panels weighing in at 68 tons!

We can imagine thatIndochine 's new tour of France will hold many surprises in store for fans who have been loyal to the band since its debut in 1981. The band will also be playing some of their old hits live, including " L'aventurier ", " Trois nuits par semaine ", " J'ai demandé à la lune ", " Nos célébrations ", " Canary Bay ", " Karma Girls " and " Un été français ".

Mark your calendars for February 24, 25, 27, and 28, as well as March 3, 4, 6, and 7, 2026. These dates will see Accor Arena in Paris hosting Indochine live in concert — the perfect chance to experience their latest hits performed fresh on stage!

Until then, we'll leave you to rehearse with the single " Le chant des cygnes ", taken from"Babel Babel".
