Jennifer Lopez, tears and fireworks: David Guetta gives the year's biggest concert at Stade de France

French DJ David Guetta delivered a spectacular two-hour performance at the Stade de France on Thursday, June 11, 2026, captivating an audience of 80,000 spectators. The highly anticipated concert marked the first of three massive shows planned at the Saint-Denis venue, solidifying its place as a significant event in electronic music history.

This performance followed Guetta's exceptionally successful concert at the Vélodrome in Marseille on June 21, 2025, which drew a crowd of 65,000. Just three months after the Marseille show, the globally renowned DJ, who has sold 40 million records worldwide, announced the three dates at France's largest stadium. Since the announcement, Guetta had consistently promised fans that this concert would be the "most ambitious" of his career.

His producer, Live Nation, had described the event as "monumental" and befitting the artist's stature in the days leading up to the show. On Thursday evening, for the first of his giant concerts in Saint-Denis, Guetta orchestrated an experience that made the 80,000 attendees dance, travel emotionally, and even shed tears. Many fans had traveled considerable distances to witness the spectacle.

Before entering the stadium, attendees like Christophe, who traveled from Nantes, expressed their eagerness to see their favorite artist perform live for the first time.
