Nice Jazz Festival 2024: A must-see event for music lovers

The Nice Jazz Festival 2024 promises to be one of the most eagerly awaited musical events of the year on the Côte d'Azur.

A veritable institution since its creation in 1948, every year this festival brings together jazz and music enthusiasts from all over the world.
With a program rich in discoveries and performances by great artists, the 2024 edition will take place from August 20 to 23 and promises to be an unforgettable moment for all music lovers.

A festival at the heart of jazz history

The Nice Jazz Festival is one of the oldest jazz festivals in Europe, and has evolved over the decades to become a not-to-be-missed event. Initially held in the sumptuous setting of the Arènes de Cimiez, in 2011 it moved to the city center, in the unique setting of Place Masséna and the Théâtre de Verdure. This change of venue has brought the festival closer to the public, while retaining its original spirit of celebrating jazz in all its forms.

Eclectic, innovative programming

Always in the tradition of eclecticism, the Nice Jazz Festival 2024 offers a program that mixes genres and generations.
While jazz remains at the heart of the event, the festival is also open to other musical styles such as funk, soul, blues, and even touches of electronic music. This diversity enables us to reach a wide audience, while showcasing emerging artists alongside jazz legends.

The 2024 edition will feature both renowned artists and up-and-coming talents.
These include Isaiah Collier and the Chosen Few, Stella Cole, Kenny Garrett and Kareen Guiock Thuram.

Jazz fans will be thrilled by the improvisations of the genre's great masters, while the curious will have the opportunity to discover daring musical fusions. Each evening will offer a unique musical journey, in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Iconic venues for magical moments

Nice Jazz Festival concerts will take place on two main stages: the Masséna stage and the Théâtre de Verdure stage.

The Masséna stage, located right in the heart of Nice, offers a large capacity and an exceptional setting, with its lighting effects illuminating the square.

The more intimate Théâtre de Verdure stage is ideal for concerts where emotion and proximity to the artists are paramount.

The festival also takes over other emblematic venues in the city for special events, such as open-air concerts, jam sessions or meetings with the artists.

These moments allow the public to experience the festival beyond the main stages and soak up the unique atmosphere of Nice in summer.
