French rapper Jul breaks attendance record at national stadium
The Paris concert of wildly popular French Marseille-based rapper Jul has broken the attendance record at France's national stadium the Stade de France, it said Sunday.
Saturday's event saw 97,816 people pack the venue that also hosted the 2023 Rugby World Cup final and the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony for one of the biggest music events of 2025, it told AFP.
Jul, 35, who has released some 30 albums in his career, beat the previous record held by the rock group Indochine whose May 2022 concert was heard by 97,036 fans in the stadium.
"Historic record... we and the team made it together," Jul, whose real name is Julien Mari, said Sunday on X in response.
Besides Jul's popularity, the record can be explained by "the stage design, the available floor space, and the stadium's layout", said Stade de France.
Tickets sold out in minutes when put on sale last year for the Paris and subsequent Marseille concerts by Jul, the most-streamed artist in France in 2024 on Spotify.
