The prestigious Gala des Pièces Jaunes is set to take place on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at the Paris La Défense Arena, marking the third edition of this remarkable charitable event.
Organized as part of the long-standing Pièces Jaunes operation, the gala is poised to bring together a stunning lineup of artists, creating a spectacular night of solidarity and music, all aimed at raising funds for the Fondation des Hôpitaux. Since its inception, this initiative has been instrumental in improving the lives of hospitalized children and adolescents across France.
This year’s gala is expected to attract around 40,000 spectators to Europe’s largest indoor venue. Artists scheduled to perform include the likes of Katy Perry, John Legend, and Burna Boy, who will join French sensations like Gims and Aya Nakamura. K-pop idols J-Hope and Rosé will also grace the stage, ensuring this year's event promises to be more vibrant than ever.
Teddy Riner, the celebrated French judoka and Olympic medalist, has been chosen as the master of ceremonies, bringing his infectious energy and charm to guide the evening's proceedings. With such stars committed to performing, the gala is not only expected to entertain but also to inspire generosity as it raises awareness for the plight of young patients.
The Gala des Pièces Jaunes will kick off at 8:30 PM, with doors opening to the public at 6:30 PM. Those attending are urged to arrive early and utilize public transport to access the venue conveniently, as traffic and parking can be challenging near the arena. Attendees are instructed to keep baggage to a minimum due to security protocols, which will restrict large bags and certain items.
Tickets for the gala, which went on sale on January 13, sold out within just ten minutes, reflecting the immense interest and support from the public. For those unable to attend the live event, the concert will be broadcast on France 2 at 9:10 PM on January 28, allowing many to enjoy the performances from home.
This year's campaign began on January 8, and will conclude on February 8, 2025. Over the years, the Pièces Jaunes initiative has funded nearly 10,000 projects, showcasing the impact of public donations. The Fondation des Hôpitaux has been dedicated to enhancing the quality of care and comfort for young hospital patients, and the funds raised during this gala will continue to support these important endeavors.
While the gala is known for its star-studded performances and emotional appeals, it also serves as a platform for raising funds needed for significant advancements and improvements within children’s healthcare facilities. This year, the hope is to surpass previous donations, maximizing the support for children and their families during difficult times. The evening promises to be filled with not only music but heartfelt stories showcasing the benefits of the contributions made.
The Pièces Jaunes Gala stands as a beacon of hope and solidarity, uniting diverse artists and the community for the common cause of improving the lives of vulnerable children. Attendees can look forward to enjoying not only extraordinary performances but also the satisfaction of knowing they are making a difference.
