Every year, the American media Pollstar publishes its ranking of the best new concert halls of the year in the world. For this 36th edition, the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu, near Lyon, was chosen. It must be said that its first year of operation was crowned with success and that the room was often sold out. Alongside it will be four other arenas: Co-op Live (Manchester, United Kingdom), Estadio GNP Seguros (Mexico City, Mexico), K-Arena (Yokohama, Japan) and UOB LIVE (Bangkok, Thailand).

Since November 23, 2023, nearly 560,000 spectators have gathered in the LDLC Arena to attend countless concerts and shows: Justin Timberlake, the Jonas Brothers, Green Day and WWE Backlash France.
