This year again, summer will be festive on the Côte d’Azur. The season and its major cultural events are fast approaching. The programs of certain musical events have already been announced and a number of French-speaking and international artists will be on hand for the occasion. We give you an update on the concerts and festivals of summer 2023.
The information is fresh. The Jazz à Juan program has just been presented, and the 2023 edition is intended to be very feminine, highlighting artists such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Melody Gardot or Samara Joy, who won the Grammy Awards for the best vocal jazz album.

The first jazz festival in the world does not take place in America, but in Nice. Present every year in the Riviera city since 1948, the Nice Jazz Festival is back this summer on the Place Masséna and at the Théâtre de Verdure from July 17 to 21. Even before the formalization of the program at the beginning of April, certain indiscretions of artists give us reason to rejoice. M has already announced on his Facebook account his presence on July 21:
The “biggest beach party in France” is back on the Croisette in Cannes. To honor his status, Electronic Beaches appealed to big names in the electro pop scene and not just anyone. We can notably find DJ Snake, Tale of Us, Lomepal or Hamza from August 4th to 6th near Cannes.

Essential artist of his generation, The weeknd, singer certified diamond disc, is back for a second time in Nice as part of his European tour “After Hours Til Dawn” initially scheduled for 2021 and then canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A long-awaited return with tickets gone like small ovens, in just a few hours after they went on sale. He will be atAllianz Riviera of Nice Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 July.
On the occasion of his tour, the essential star of French song will perform in 9 European cities and will be in Nice for its last show on July 29, 2023 at the stadium Allianz Riviera.
