The season is under way in the 9th arrondissement, and this time the calendar is confirmed through to the end of November. Between the Casino de Paris, on the same street as the Hôtel R de Paris, and the Olympia, just a few streets away, autumn 2026 brings flamenco, rock, stand-up comedy and the biggest stage phenomenon of the season. Here is what is confirmed, venue by venue.

The Casino de Paris, opposite the hotel

It is the closest venue by far: the Casino de Paris stands right opposite the hotel on Rue de Clichy. No transport to plan, no last métro to watch for: when the venue empties out, all it takes is crossing the street.

The season's main event arrives right away. Drag Race France Live Season 4 is announced for 24 September to 10 October 2026, at 8pm, with tickets from 19 €. The day-by-day schedule has not been published: the period is confirmed, but not whether the show runs every single night without a break. The official ticketing page shows which dates are actually on sale.

Buika and Du bout des lèvres had already opened the venue's autumn season in early September. The rest of the calendar shifts tone from one evening to the next:

  • Courtney Barnett, Sunday 11 October: Australian rock songwriting, acoustic guitar and deadpan humour.
  • Gold, Wednesday 21 October: the French band from the 1980s, for a thoroughly nostalgic evening.
  • Rammstein Symphonic Experience, Monday 26 October: an orchestral reinterpretation of the German band's repertoire.
  • Jessie Ware, Tuesday 10 November: British pop soul with unapologetic disco flair. Last tickets announced.
  • Uriah Heep, Monday 16 November: the veterans of British hard rock.
  • Nass El Ghiwane, Monday 23 November: the Moroccan band turned legend, a rare appearance on Parisian stages.

Two November evenings are already sold out, Blue on the 20th and Marillion on the 21st. On sold-out nights, Rue de Clichy comes alive from 7pm: it is the right time to dine early rather than hunt for a table at the last minute.

The Olympia and the neighbouring stages

Opened in 1893, with 2,000 seats, the Olympia (28 boulevard des Capucines) remains an essential stop for tours passing through Paris. Ronnie Wood and Imelda May opened the season there in early September; here is what follows:

  • Angra, Wednesday 23 September: Brazilian melodic metal.
  • Bérengère Krief, Thursday 1 to Saturday 3 October: three nights of one-woman show.
  • Jalen Ngonda, Thursday 8 October: old-school American soul.
  • Maria del Mar Bonet, Sunday 11 October: the great voice of Catalan song.
  • EsDeeKid, Friday 27 November.

The neighbourhood's other venues round out the picture:

  • The Folies Bergère (32 rue Richer, 9th arrondissement): 1,678 seats, one of the finest Art Deco venues in Paris, its facade listed as a historic monument. Sara Correia in September, Voyou with a big band in October, Michèle Laroque and Kad Merad in L'Âge Bête from 7 to 24 October.
  • The Théâtre Mogador (25 rue Mogador, 9th arrondissement): 1,618 seats and Paris's temple of musical theatre. Le Roi Lion has been running there since 2023; the new season's programme should be checked on the official website.
  • La Cigale (120 boulevard de Rochechouart, 18th arrondissement): 2,000 seats on a human scale, a go-to address for rock, electronic music and emerging songwriting. The ideal format for a less formal evening.

To compare capacities, access and programming styles before choosing, our guide to the venues of the 9th reviews the main ones.

Why the hotel changes everything

Going to a concert is often a matter of logistics: where to have dinner beforehand, how to get back once the venue empties out past 11pm. From 41 rue de Clichy, the question barely arises. The Casino de Paris is right opposite. The Mogador, the Folies Bergère and La Cigale are all within walking distance. The Olympia, a little further away, is reached on foot via the Chaussée-d'Antin or by métro from Gare Saint-Lazare, 7 minutes' walk from the hotel, just one stop on line 14 to Madeleine.

In practice: no last métro to watch for, no taxi to wait for in the rain, and a Bar Lounge open from 6pm to midnight, reserved for guests, to carry the evening on when the show has left everyone wanting to keep talking.

Before the concert, the neighbourhood has no shortage of tables: terraces on Rue des Martyrs, wine bars in SoPi, restaurants on Rue de Clichy just steps from the Casino de Paris. Our restaurants and bars guide lists addresses around the hotel, with distances and booking details.

Booking your stay at the same time as your tickets

The rule holds every year: as soon as a concert is confirmed, book the hotel right after. September, October and November rank among the busiest months of the year in Paris, between trade fairs, Fashion Week and the Journées du Patrimoine, and central rooms sell out early. Our early booking offer secures dates at the best rate while keeping flexibility.

And for anyone keen to look beyond the major venues, our guide to Parisian stages lists addresses around the neighbourhood, from jazz clubs to large-scale productions.
