Les Plages Électroniques (Cannes, France) 2026

About

Each August, the golden coastline of Cannes transforms into a living, breathing dancefloor, and from August 7–9, 2026, Les Plages Électroniques will return to the French Riviera with renewed creative energy and a lineup that unites the world’s leading electronic artists. The music festival unfolds across multiple dreamlike settings—from the sun-kissed sands beside the Palais des Festivals to open-air terraces, rooftop decks, and floating stages that glimmer on the Mediterranean. It’s an experience that merges the elegance of the Côte d’Azur with the raw pulse of modern club culture, drawing more than 40,000 music lovers from across the globe to move as one under the Riviera sun.

In 2025, the event celebrated one of its most ambitious editions to date, featuring Tiësto, Peggy Gou, Charlotte de Witte, Eric Prydz, Booba, Kungs, Mochakk, Anetha, Agoria, and Patrick Mason—each delivering unforgettable sets that rippled through the sea breeze. The diverse programming seamlessly bridged genres, flowing from melodic house and techno to rap, pop, and experimental electronic blends. As night fell, the beach morphed into a glowing amphitheater of light, where every beat collided with the reflection of the moon on the water. For 2026, the festival’s producers promise an even greater evolution, with new stage designs, immersive audio-visual technologies, and performances designed to interact with the landscape itself.

Les Plages Électroniques is more than a celebration of sound—it’s an intersection of art, lifestyle, and sustainability. Each year introduces installations from French and international visual artists, eco-friendly design initiatives, and creative zones for discovery. The programming stretches beyond the main site, with boat parties across the Bay of Cannes, afterparties beneath the Palais, and wellness mornings filled with yoga, movement, and sound baths along the shore. Food and drink offerings reflect the festival’s coastal identity, showcasing Mediterranean flavors and local partners.

With its mix of elegance, edge, and atmosphere, Les Plages Électroniques 2026 will once again embody the spirit of the Riviera—timeless, free, and ever-evolving. It’s not just a weekend at the beach; it’s a three-day journey into rhythm, connection, and creative escape where the sea itself seems to dance.
