Pop rock and variety concert halls Pays De La Loire

Since 2006, it is the big hall of Nantes Métropole. The Zenith is located at the crossroads of the Nantes-Saint-Nazaire expressway and the ring road, on the Ar Mor site, near public transport. Sound quality, modular public and stage spaces, outdoor scenography on show nights thanks to its highest façade functioning as a giant screen: so many undeniable assets. The Zenith can accommodate from 2,200 to 9,000 people (and 4,900 in seated configuration), making it one of the largest Zeniths in France in terms of capacity. The Zenith of Nantes Metropole, designed by the architects Chaix and Morel, hosts major national and international tours, and adapts to all kinds of shows: concert, circus, comedy, film-concert, one man show ... A beautiful program to discover on the site of the room.

Installed under the naves, Steréolux is a high place of the cultural life of Nantes. Composed of two halls, the largest called "Maxi" (up to 1,200 people) and the second "Micro" (400 people), the place hosts concerts throughout the year, but also exhibitions, shows for children, artists in residence, installations, workshops, screenings, conferences... Among the highlights are the Scopitone festival (electronic cultures and digital arts) in September and the Inrockuptibles festival in November. Some examples of the 2023-2024 season to come: Izia, Hoshi, Pierre de Maere, Ko Ko Mo, IAM, Niska, Yuzmv...

Near the Talensac Market, La Bouche d'air is a human-sized venue with a rich and varied program. The 2022-2023 season was worthy of its anniversary (40 years in June 2023!) and of its desire to honor current music with concerts by Cali, La Grande Sophie, les Fouteurs de joie, Fred Pellerin, Marcia Hugelin, Yves Jamais... We don't forget the aperitif-concerts organized by the hall! Regularly, cultural actions are proposed to sensitize new audiences. The accompaniment in the act of creation is also part of the missions of the Bouche d'Air which welcomes several artists in residence. A warm and intimate room. The 2023-2024 program is to be discovered!

The Cité des Congrès de Nantes is the first convention center in the Grand Ouest region. It can host conventions and trade shows for an audience of 300 to over 3,000 people.

The 2023/2024 season will see concerts by the ONPL, Renaud, the Swan Lake ballet, the humor of Djimo, Caroline Estremo, Timsit, Franjo or Jérôme Niel, the music of Renaud, Benjamin Biolay, Grease... and many other artists! To facilitate the purchase of tickets, the website offers access to the online ticket offices of the show organizers, a real time-saver.

In the programme: shows, exhibitions, concerts, projections, meetings; a regular bar and dance; day or night, a place of experience, meetings, discoveries and exchanges.
