In May 2026, the singer will join the closed circle of female artists programmed solo in the largest sports venue in France. During three sold-out concerts.
A first for the artist. Aya Nakamura is due to take the stage at the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis, on the outskirts of Paris, on May 29, 30 and 31, 2026. Tickets for the first two dates sold out during pre-sales, which led the Franco-Malian artist to add a third date, also stormed by fans from midday on Friday.
With this hat-trick planned for next spring, Aya Nakamura – who rarely performs on stage – joins the closed circle of female artists scheduled solo in the largest sports venue in France. Aside from international stars like Beyoncé or Madonna, Mylène Farmer is so far the only French singer to have performed there, with five concerts under her belt: two in 2009 and three in 2024.
A fifth album in preparation
Proof of a success that transcends borders, Aya Nakamura is “ranked in the charts of more than 40 countries” et “his repertoire now exceeds 7 billion listens worldwide”said its concert producer Live Nation in a press release.
She is preparing the release on November 21 of her fifth album, Destinya little over a year after participating in the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, in a medley with the Republican Guard. Last month, ten identity activists were fined for posting a photo on social media of a banner with racist connotations protesting against their participation.
