Roughly a decade after first beam, the LHC accelerator and experiments can already look back at an impressive list of achievements. However, we are still in the early phases of a long journey, especially in terms of the total amount of data to be collected. In this talk I will give a brief review of the current status, and then focus on the future plans, in particular at the so-called high-luminosity upgrades of the experiments and the physics goals related to this future high-luminosity running of the accelerator.
