AC/DC at the Stade de France: how to prepare for your visit by public transport

Back in Black ", " Thunderstruck ", " Highway to Hell " and " Hells Bells "... All these powerful songs by AC/DC are set to resound at the Stade de France on Saturday August 9 and Wednesday August 13, 2025. The world-famous hard rock band will be coming to the gates of Paris this summer for two concerts that are sure to have fans in a frenzy.

The band's many admirers, holders of the precious sesame, are therefore in the starting-blocks, impatient to see Angus Young, Brian Johnson and the others live in Paris on August 9 and 13, just one year after the huge show at the Hippodrome Paris-Longchamp.

But before the AC/DC hits can be heard, the Stade de France has to be reached. Given the number of people expected to be in the vicinity of the stadium on August 9 and 13, 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.
