Le Forum, a legendary venue in the cultural landscape of Le Mans for decades, is reinventing itself as part of the closure of the Palais des Congrès et de la Culture du Mans for major works on 31 May.
Located in the Le Mans Exhibition Centre, over the past 37 years Le Forum has become a major concert venue, hosting some of the biggest names in the music world, from Damien Saez to Slipknot and Selah Sue.
Building on its history and already boasting a seated/standing configuration, the venue is expanding to include an additional seated format, seating up to 1,350 people. This redevelopment will provide artists and audiences with all the comfort of a concert hall, and will enable the venue to host a wider range of shows from November 2025 onwards.
Audiences will be able to enjoy the venue's traditional favourites - concerts, music and shows - as well as the Palais des Congrès' flagship events: comedy and theatre. The new programme is rich and eclectic, with Elie Semoun, Olivier de Benoist, Laurent Gerra, Henri Dès and Paul Mirabel among the stars already sold out!
Five shows are already available for booking at https://www.lemans-evenements.fr/, where the full programme will be unveiled in the coming months.
