Indoor arena Palais des Sports in Paris' south was built in 1960 to replace Vel' d'Hiv, demolished after the horrors it witnessed during the roundup of Jews in WWII.
Its aluminum-paneled, domed ceiling – built using techniques devised by Buckminster Fuller – has welcomed concerts, musicals, boxing matches, plays, one-man shows, and more.
Past performers at Palais des Sports (with a capacity of up to 5,000) include Harlem Globetrotters; Holiday on Ice; the Blue Man Group; musical acts Boyz II Men, Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Led Zeppelin, Iggy Pop, and Queen; dance troupes Alvin Ailey and the Bolchoï Ballet; musicals Hair, Grease, and West Side Story; and popular French stand-up comedians Gad Elmaleh and Jamel Debouze.
