The most anticipated musical event of the year is officially back. From August 20th to 23rd, Nice will host a new edition of the Nice Jazz Fest, the oldest jazz festival in the world, as it first took place in 1948 on the hill of Cimiez. On the agenda: four evenings of festivities in the heart of the Azurean capital, between Place Masséna and the Théâtre de Verdure, alongside talented artists ready to make you feel the groove!

During these four nights, there will be no less than 24 concerts taking place on the two festival stages. Jazz of course, but also soul, blues, pop, funk, and even more urban music… There will be something for every taste and every desire!

To kick off the festivities on Tuesday, August 20th, the Nice Jazz Fest will feature performances by artists such as Louis Matute, Thee Sacred Souls, and Dabeull. The following day, the captivating Stella Cole, along with Omah Lay and Jungle will transport the audience into their respective worlds. On Thursday, August 22nd, Theo Croker, Phoenix, and the vibrant Julien Granel will take the stage. Finally, on the closing day of the festival, Friday, August 23rd, artists like Kareen Guiock Thuram, Rejjie Snow, and Yamé will perform.


A village to welcome festival-goers 

For the very first time, a festival village will be set up. There, you can enjoy a restaurant serving local gastronomic delights, a bar to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day, relaxation areas, and various entertainment options.

A break between two concerts and activities to catch your breath. Of course, the Tchoup and Bobar Comedy Clubs will be there every day from 6:30pm to 10:30pm to bring that extra dose of good humor to all festival-goers.

After the concerts end, from 12:30 am, the village will offer afters where acoustic music sessions will enhance the intimate and warm atmosphere of the place. And because music is best enjoyed with family, you can come to the Nice Jazz Fest with your children. The Kid's club will take care of children aged 4 to 10 from 6:45 pm to 12:45 am. Will we see you there?
