Palais Nikaia
Palais Nikaia is an indoor concert hall and multipurpose venue in Nice, France, beside Stade Charles-Ehrmann.
Its name recalls Nikaia, the ancient Greek settlement linked with modern Nice.
Architects André Grésy, Serge Grésy and Louis Chevalier designed the building as a flexible contemporary facility.
Concerts remain a central use of the indoor hall.
Sliding glass doors connect the hall with the outdoor stadium for larger productions and gatherings.
Sporting events also take place inside the hall.
The venue has hosted conventions, variety shows, judo and freestyle wrestling competitions, and the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
International artists including Depeche Mode have performed at Palais Nikaia.
Its adaptable layout supports seated concerts, standing shows, sporting events and conventions within one connected event complex.
The venue opened with a concert by Elton John.
The stadium connection gives Palais Nikaia a distinctive role among Nice's cultural and entertainment venues.
Johnny Hallyday's name marks the forecourt beside the hall.
The venue stands near Côte d'Azur International Airport and brings international performers and large events to the region.
Modern design supports the hall's different event formats.
