Zénith de Saint-Étienne Métropole is a major concert venue distinguished by its contemporary architecture, designed by British architect Norman Foster. Its aerodynamic silhouette, expansive glazed façades and distinctive canopy give the building a striking appearance, while the flexible main auditorium can accommodate approximately 7,200 visitors, including up to 5,400 in a fully seated configuration.
The interior is designed for large concerts and stage productions, with multiple arrangements for the stage, floor and seating areas. Spacious foyers, refreshment facilities and a layout created to handle large audiences contribute to a comfortable experience before and during events.
The venue is located at Rue Scheurer Kestner, 42000 Saint-Étienne, France. A large parking area is situated directly beside the building, while tram line T3 serves the nearby Zénith stop, making the final approach convenient by both car and public transport.
