Accor Arena: Pussycat Dolls, Wu-Tang Clan, Maluma... A 2026 line-up that's absolutely mind-blowing!
It needs no introduction. For decades, the Accor Arena (formerly known as Bercy to the locals) has been the beating heart of live music in Paris. And if you thought 2026 was going to be a quiet year, think again. The venue in the 12th arrondissement is gearing up for a series of mind-blowing nights, with a line-up that would put any festival to shame. From the long-awaited return of a legendary girl group, the farewell of a New York hip-hop collective, and the best of the new French scene, here's what awaits you behind the doors of this iconic venue.
Pussycat Dolls: the not-so-demure divas' revenge
They left us without warning, after years of belting out those unforgettable hits (Don't Cha, Buttons, Stickwitu). And then, silence. Until this news broke the internet: the Pussycat Dolls are getting back on stage and stopping off in Paris in 2026. And this won't be some lacklustre little gig. Nicole Scherzinger and her girls are planning to turn up the heat with a production worthy of their heyday. Ticket prices? Expect to pay between €50 and €150, depending on the spot. It might mean breaking the piggy bank, but to see them strut their stuff on stage again, fans are ready to cash in their savings. The exact date hasn't been released yet, but one thing's for sure: this will be one of the pop events of the year.
Wu-Tang Clan: the last chamber in Paris
A change of atmosphere. Here, we're talking living legends. The Wu-Tang Clan has announced their farewell tour, aptly titled "The Final Chamber". And of course, Paris couldn't be left out. Method Man, RZA, GZA and the rest will land at the Accor Arena for one last ritual. Expect a powerful, raw, no-frills show, where the classics (C.R.E.A.M., Protect Ya Neck) will resonate like a final rallying cry. Hip-hop purists have already marked the date in their calendars. This will probably be the last chance to see the Staten Island collective in its entirety on a Parisian stage. A truly historic moment on the horizon.
Maluma: after the wait, the (real) deal?
Remember? Maluma was supposed to set the Accor Arena alight back in March 2022. We'd picked out our outfits, practised the choreography for Hawái. And then, bam: the concert was postponed. Ever since, his most loyal fans have been waiting for any sign. Good news: the Colombian star should finally be touching down in Paris during 2026. While no official date is set in stone yet, the whispers backstage are persistent. The "Pretty Boy" has promised to move mountains to come back stronger, with a show even more spectacular than the one we'd imagined. So, keep your fingers crossed and get your screaming voices ready.
The French new wave: Favé and L2B, the next generation
Because the Accor Arena is also a launchpad for homegrown talent. This year, two names are on the rise and are taking on the absolute pinnacle. First up, Favé. The phenomenon of French rap, with his unique flow and catchy melodies, has already proven he can fill venues. But Bercy is a different league entirely. He'll have the chance to show he's got what it takes to headline such a night. Then there's L2B with their anthem "Nés pour briller" (Born to Shine). These young guns of modern R'n'B bring insane energy and choruses that stick in your head. Their show promises to be a burst of pure good vibes and positivity. Two dates not to be missed to take the pulse of the French music scene.
The Accor Arena: a temple of endless possibilities
Just look at this line-up: US legends, a Latin superstar, 2000s pop, the local new guard. Only in Paris, and only at the Accor Arena, can you put together such an eclectic mix. So, get ready for sleepless nights, for making your credit card work overtime, and for experiencing moments of pure musical connection. Ticket sales are already heating up for some of these events. If you want to be there, don't hang about. Here's a quick recap of what's in store:
- Pussycat Dolls – 2026 (date TBC) – price: €50-€150
- Wu-Tang Clan – "The Final Chamber" – 2026
- Maluma – originally scheduled for March 2022, finally being rescheduled?
- Favé – event concert
- L2B – "Nés pour briller" live
Whether you're team R'n'B, old-school rap or Latin pop, the Accor Arena will be the only place to be in 2026. See you there?
