“The Stade de France is a possibility”: Youssou Ndour’s manager discusses what’s next

Following the success of Bercy 2026, Youssou Ndour’s international manager, Michèle Lahana, said a concert at the Stade de France is possible, though no concrete plan has been announced. She said the event would need to be announced well in advance to fill the venue. Lahana was more cautious about staging the Grand Bal in an open-air stadium, saying it needs an enclosed venue, lighting effects and suitable seasonal conditions. She described the Grand Bal as a celebration of Senegal, whether it takes place in Paris or Dakar.
