Les Plages Électroniques

The birth of a legendary beach party in 2006

Les Plages Électroniques was born in 2006 on the beaches of Cannes, with a simple yet audacious ambition: to create the biggest beach electronic festival in France. From the very first edition, which brought together around 7,000 people, the concept was a hit: dancing with your feet in the sand, facing the sea, with the world's greatest DJs. In twenty years, the festival has grown from this initial party to a major event on the European electronic scene, attracting 60,000 festival-goers over three days.

Six stages on the Palais des Festivals beach

Every summer, the festival takes over the beach of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, transforming this iconic location on the Croisette into a vast open-air dance floor. Six stages offer diverse atmospheres, from the monumental main stage to more intimate stages dedicated to techno, house, bass music, or hip-hop. Festivities begin at 2 PM and continue until 5 AM, offering fifteen hours of non-stop music per day.
