Two Paris shows for Rolling Stones this autumn
Iconic rockers will play inaugural shows at the U Arena at La Défense
The Rolling Stones will play two shows in Paris this autumn, when they inaugurate the new 40,000-seatre indoor U Arena at Nanterre-La Défense.
The October 19 and 22 shows by the Satisfaction and Jumpin’ Jack Flash rockers will be the first on French soil since their the Stade de France gig in June 2014.
The Paris dates are the final two on the No Filter tour of Europe, announced by the band this morning.
