Paris La Défense Arena: From Taylor Swift Stage to 2024 Olympics Venue
Set to host swimming events at the Paris 2024 Olympic games, the shift from hosting the most talked-about concerts in the world to an Olympic venue with two full-sized swimming pools poses a serious challenge.Since its grand opening in 2017, the Paris La Défense Arena has been home to a mix of cultural and sporting experiences. Located in Europe’s largest financial district just 30 minutes from central Paris, the venue has been home to a host of events.
The Rolling Stones were the first to grace its stage, setting the tone for an lineup of famous performers, including 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, P!nk and Elton John. Meanwhile, the building’s sports tenant, French rugby union team Racing 92, frequently draws fans who fill the space with excitement.
