Story
Since 1995, the Geneva Arena has been the unmissable destination for live entertainment in French-speaking Switzerland.
The opening
The Geneva Arena opened its doors on 1 November 1995 with a concert by Johnny Hallyday, marking the start of an adventure that has never stopped since.
Built in just 10 months, this multipurpose venue was born of the desire to give Geneva and the Lake Geneva region a venue worthy of Europe's greatest stages.
