Fally Ipupa at the Stade de France: how to plan your visit by public transport

Excitement is building among Fally Ipupa's fans. Their idol is poised to take the legendary Stade de France for the very first time. For the occasion, the Congolese singer isn’t doing things by halves and plans to set the Francilian venue ablaze for two consecutive nights, this Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, 2026. The question now is what Fally Ipupa has in store for his fans on this milestone. Which hits will he perform on the edge of Paris? One thing is certain: a festive atmosphere should sweep through the Stade de France. And for good reason, Fally Ipupa will mark his 20-year career with the shows!

But before vibing to the hits of Fally Ipupa, you’ll need to make it to the Stade de France. With crowds expected around the stadium on May 2 and 3, the mission won’t be a stroll in the park. As the RATP reminds us, “various public transport options can get you to the Stade de France,” namely the RER B and D, the metro lines 12, 13 and 14, or the Transilien line H.

Here are the public transport options to prioritise for getting to the Stade de France and for an easier departure depending on your entry gate. That said, the RATP advises taking less crowded public transport lines and routes, such as Metro Line 12 and Transilien Line H.

How to get to the Stade de France
