Imagine Dragons at the Stade de France: how to prepare for your visit by public transport

Thunder ", " Bones", " Bad Liar " and " Believer " - all Imagine Dragons hits are set to resound at the Stade de France this weekend. The famous American band, led by Dan Reynolds, will be at the gates of Paris on Saturday July 5 and Sunday July 6, 2025 for two concerts that are sure to have fans on their feet.

French and foreign fans of the American band, holders of the precious sesame, are in the starting-blocks, impatient to see their favorite group in concert in Paris on July 5 and 6, less than two years after Imagine Dragons' fiery concert at Paris La Défense Arena.

But before the American band can rock out to their hits, they'll have to get to the Stade de France. Given the number of people expected to be in the vicinity of the stadium on July 5 and 6, this will be no easy task. As the RATP reminds us, " the Stade de France can be reached by various forms of public transport ", including RER lines B and D, metro lines 12, 13 and 14, Transilienline H and tramway T8.
