Indochine - Arena Tour

Indochine brings Arena Tour to LDLC Arena

As LDLC Arena, we are thrilled to open our doors to Indochine and welcome their Arena Tour to our stage, a production conceived for the unique energy and intimacy of a modern indoor venue. Few bands carry the multigenerational resonance that Indochine commands in France and beyond, and the momentum behind the group remains strong. Their recent artistic journey has been marked by the expansive Singles Collection projects and the anthem “Nos célébrations,” which reaffirmed their contemporary edge, while concerts and film releases around the monumental Central Tour reminded audiences of their flair for ambitious staging. Today, the band’s creative pulse is just as vibrant: the new wave DNA is alive in their synth textures, the guitars still thunder with emotion, and their commitment to powerful visual storytelling keeps evolving. Hosting them in Décines, near Lyon, gives us the chance to craft an environment where nuance meets scale, so that every chorus and every silhouette against the screen lands with the clarity and intensity that have defined Indochine for decades.

What the Arena Tour experience promises at our venue

The Arena Tour draws on the band’s taste for cinematic design while leveraging the strengths of LDLC Arena: clean sightlines, tuned acoustics, and immersive video that brings the narrative of each song to life. Expect an architecture of light—sweeping beams, deep color palettes, and sharp monochrome contrasts—supported by high-resolution screens that frame the players and amplify the emotional arc of the set. Our technical teams have worked to balance punch and precision, so the low-end throb that underpins their electronic pulse sits comfortably with Nicola Sirkis’s voice, and those crystalline synth motifs cut through without fatigue. The flow through our concourses and bowl has been planned to keep you close to the action from the moment you enter, with vantage points that work for the dance-floor surge as well as for those who prefer to take in the full scenic picture. This is an arena-scale production engineered to feel human: the crowd can roar as one, yet the band’s quieter passages still carry a conversational intimacy that reaches the very top of the stands.

Artistically, Indochine continue to thread their history into the present, and that living timeline is a key part of what you will experience at LDLC Arena. The set we anticipate for Arena Tour weaves fan-favorite foundations—“L’Aventurier,” “Trois nuits par semaine,” “J’ai demandé à la lune”—with recent standards that showcase their current voice, from “Un été français” and “La vie est belle” to “Station 13” and the rallying glow of “Nos célébrations.” The pacing is crafted for arenas: dynamic rises, widescreen choruses built for mass sing-alongs, and intimate breaks where the room dims to a hush before erupting again. In our space, the band’s interplay of nostalgia and now finds its ideal frame: you hear the details in the synth arpeggios, feel the kick drum in your chest, and see the narrative unfold across towering visuals that transform the stage into a living tableau. For us as hosts, this is the essence of great arena music: a production that honors every era of the artist’s catalogue while giving the present moment its full, exhilarating weight—exactly what Indochine do when they step into the light for Arena Tour at LDLC Arena.
