Hotels for Simple Plan

Halloween night brings a pop-punk crowd out in costume as often as band merch, singing along to two decades of choruses built for exactly this kind of night. Expect a set pitched at nostalgia as much as new material, with the crowd doing plenty of the vocal work. Saturday timing means no work the next day, so the room tends to stay loud until the last song ends. Fans travelling for this one often make a weekend of it, given the date's novelty.

In the Bercy district of eastern Paris, the Accor Arena is the city's leading indoor venue, its distinctive sloping green roof hosting global music tours, tennis and other sport. The surrounding area blends riverside walks along the Seine with the parks, cinemas and restaurants of Bercy Village. Métro lines 6 and 14 stop right by the arena, linking quickly across the city. Staying nearby or centrally in Paris lets you enjoy the neighbourhood before a show and ride the Métro back with ease.
