Hello!
This will be my first time in France, I've got tickets for Lille and Paris shows. I'm from Argentina.I was hoping to get some help about the best way to get from the centre of Lille to the stadium and mostly to come back after the show as it would be more difficult to get an Uber then.
Also anything else that you would like to share about the city will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Hope this helps. Getting there is not the issue...Depending on how late the show runs and the Metro hours of operation getting back after is always the fun part trying to catch the last trains of the evening with the rest of the crowd! Paris is the same way; which is why I booked an AIrBnB near La Defense and a hotel witinin walking distance in Bordeaux, although that shouldn't be as much of a hassle as after shows at Stade de France. I don't know if it is possible to reserve an Uber for after the show but sharing a taxi back to the center is always an option as I'm sure there will be hundreds of others heading in the same direction.

VOUS VENEZ EN MÉTRO
Ligne 1, Stations « Cité Scientifique » et « 4 Cantons »
Téléchargez le planLigne2, Station « Les Près » puis navette et bus gratuits du Stade. Les navettes sont activités uniquement en événement stade.
Téléchargez le planPour plus de confort, la circulation des métros est renforcée 2h avant l’événement et est prolongée après la fin de celui-ci.
You have several solutions to come from Lille. The easier is the subway line 1 but it will be very busy after the gig. It could be easier to use the shuttle (free bus) wich goes to line 2 station les Prés. Line 1 and line 2 meet at Lille Flandres railway station.
The last sentence means that they add subway trains before and after the event.

Now comes the long wait until the show, the first of the year !

The main local paper announces that this gig is postponed in 2021 but without any information about the new date.
Same for the 3 other French dates.

Thank you very much for the update on that - glad to hear they're postponed rather than cancelled. Strange how it's still not been announced through official channels.

Thanks for sharing. It's disappointing but it's the right thing to do. Just wish they put a statement awhile back. Was frustrating not hearing anything as every other show has issued a statement regarding Coronavirus

It's now clear after Mr Macron 's speech: No event with audience before mid July.
We now only have to wait for the new French dates and to hope that there won't be any cancellation.

The 4 French gigs are officially cancelled.
Cancelled NOT POSTPONED !

I have a thought for you Syl76. It remains at least the gigs we attended together in Paris or Cardiff...
As John Lennon sung, nobody told me there'd be days like this. Strange days indeed.

Yes Jean, I am devastated and I have the feeling that I won't see him again... Don't forget to remove "20 Villeneuve d'Ascq" from your signature

So sad, was leaving in less than 2 weeks

Very sad yesterday evening...
Such a chance to see Paul on stage at 3 km from my home will probably never happen again.
