Halle Tony Garnier is one of Lyon's most distinctive large-scale event venues, instantly recognizable for its monumental industrial architecture designed by Tony Garnier. Originally built in the early 20th century as a livestock market hall, it is now a versatile, column-free venue that can be configured for concerts, shows, exhibitions and other major events. In its largest standing configurations, the hall can accommodate approximately 16,000 visitors.
The vast interior and unobstructed sightlines towards the stage create an impressive shared live-event atmosphere, while seating and audience layouts can be adapted to suit each production. Its expansive volume is particularly well suited to concerts featuring large lighting rigs, sound systems and elaborate stage designs. Visitors can also find bars serving drinks, sandwiches and sweet snacks inside the venue, while a cloakroom is available for most event configurations.
The venue is located in the Gerland district at 20 Place Docteurs Charles et Christophe Mérieux, Lyon, France. The Halle Tony Garnier tram stop is directly beside the venue, while Debourg metro station is approximately a ten-minute walk away and also connects to the hall by tram.
