Quotegotdablouse That sounds like a lot, 100k max maybe (was it 80k in 1995 for the Stones ?) but apparently here they're reusing the Lollapalooza festival setup and that's designed for 50k. Longchamp is a very large lawn (1 million people for John Paul II). In 95, there were two concerts of 80.000 people. This time, setup seems to be only 50.000 But they could increase the cap

Pretty central by Stones standards (vs. Spielberg, Werchter, Circuit of the Americas, etc.). Just an 80-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. 40 minutes by metro/bus from Châtelet (center of Paris).

Quotenovica Quotegotdablouse QuoteWelshEdge1 Longchamps is a decent venue. San Siro is iconic. Longchamp is not a "venue" it's a field in the middle of nowhere. Acceptable for a festival I suppose but for a single concert it makes no sense other than the fact that it must be cheaper to hire as there is practically zero infrastructure, unlike a stadium.

Hippodrome of Longchamp is not in the middle of nowhere, it's in inner Paris, close to Rolland Garros and Parc des Princes. It's really much easier to go to Longchamp than to go to Stade de France. Untill the building of Stade of de France, much of the big concerts in Paris took place in one of the parisian hippodrome: Vincennes, Longchamp or Auteuil.
