Pop rock and variety concert halls Tours

Do not say "Vinci" but Palais des Congrès, since the place has changed its name in 2018. But this building designed by the architect Jean Nouvel has not changed, since the "liner" (as nicknamed by the Tourangeaux not very seduced by the building) still has 22 rooms and 4,500 m² of exhibition space to accommodate 190 events per year. Concerts of national and international stars, fairs, congresses... And even large exhibitions, the novelty 2022. With its thousands of visitors each year, it is a serious rival for its regional and national competitors.

The centerpiece of the Tours Exhibition Center, the Grand Hall is also an XXL-sized concert hall that regularly welcomes the greatest national and international artists. It must be said that with its 10 000^m2, the place can receive 4 000 to 12 000 spectators! Of course, with the Covid, it was not often opened these last months... We are therefore looking forward to the big concerts, but also to the fairs and exhibitions organized in the whole Parc Expo. Wedding show, car show, Ferme Expo, Japan Expo, Holiday on Ice... There's plenty to do in an agenda that's starting to fill up for 2022-2023: to make sure you don't miss anything, head to the Tours Events website.

This concert hall will have known many adventures! Cult for the "old" Tourangeaux, it has seen artists such as Mano Negra, Noir Désir or IAM. But the boat sank in 2010. Since then, a team of enthusiasts is rowing to get it back afloat. In 2020, ready to take the sea, an epidemic passed by. But here it is, in 2022, freshly renovated, the place welcomes artists again. There is the programming, but also "pirate" proposals around the bar. Concerts, exhibitions, animations, projections... A link of culture which gathers.
