The artist nicknamed "the UFO", who is due to unveil his new album "Oubliez-moi" on May 15, will gladly perform a handful of his new tracks live, while also paying tribute to his older hits. But before you can witness JUL in person on stage, you’ll need to head to the Stade de France. Given the crowd expected around the stadium on May 15 and 16, the mission looks set to be a tough one.

As the RATP notes, “there are several ways to reach the Stade de France by public transport,” namely the RER B and D, lines 12, 13 and 14 of the metro, or the Transilien line H.

If you’re coming by public transport, here are some practical tips to help you dodge potential queues around the stadium and reach as close as possible to your entry door. Routes vary according to the entry gate shown on your ticket.

Here are the public transport options to prioritize to get to the Stade de France and depart more smoothly depending on your access gate.

How to get to the Stade de France

• Access to gates A, B, C, D, E, G and H (East of the Stadium): take the RER B toward Mitry–Claye • Charles de Gaulle Airport and get off at the station "La Plaine – Stade de France" or opt for the Metro Line 12, toward “Mairie d’Aubervilliers,” then alight at the station "Front populaire". Plan about 10 minutes on foot from the RER B station and 25 minutes on foot from the Line 12 station.
  
  
• Access to gates J, K, L, N, R and S (North of the Stadium): take the Line 13 of the metro toward “Saint-Denis Université” and get off at the station “Saint-Denis – Porte de Paris.” From there, it’s roughly a 5-minute walk to the stadium gates.
  
  
• Access to gates T, U, X, Y and Z (Southwest of the Stadium): take the RER D toward Creil and alight at the station “Stade de France – Saint-Denis,” then count about 10 minutes on foot from the station to the stadium gates. Alternatively, take Line 14 of the Metro and alight at the station “Saint-Denis – Pleyel.” Expect about 20 minutes of walking afterward.

Leaving the Stadium and Heading for Paris

• From gates A, B, C, D, E, G, H, X, Y and Z (East of the Stadium): take the RER B (about a 10-minute walk) or the Line 12 metro (about 25 minutes on foot).
• From gates J, K, L, N, R, S, T and U (North of the Stadium): take the Line 13 metro (about a 5-minute walk), toward “Châtillon Montrouge”.
• From gates T, U, X, Y and Z (Southwest of the Stadium): take the RER D (about a 10-minute walk), toward “Melun / Malesherbes” or the Line 14 (about 20 minutes on foot).

RATP recommends that you take metro line 12 and Transilien line H (which serves Saint-Denis and enables you to catch the RER D) to get to the Stade de France; these two routes are generally less busy.

Enjoy the concert!
