Jazz à Juan 2025: Jazz elegance under the pines

From July 10 to 20, 2025, the legendary Jazz à Juan festival returns to the Pinède Gould in Juan-les-Pins for its 64th edition, promising a rich blend of eclecticism, emotion, and open-air magic. A not-to-be-missed rendezvous for jazz lovers—and Mediterranean enthusiasts.


A spectacular opening night

The festival kicks off in style with a highly anticipated performance: Air celebrates the 25th anniversary of Moon Safari, joined by Émile Londonien in a dialogue between electronic nostalgia and contemporary jazz energy.


Powerful voices and jazz legends

Among the main headliners: five-time Grammy winner Dianne Reeves shares the stage with British showman Jamie Cullum, followed the next night by the soulful tones of Ayo and the unmistakable voice of Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals.

On July 16, jazz vocals take center stage with the magnetic Gregory Porter, preceded by the soulful Meshell Ndegeocello. Later in the week, living legend Herbie Hancock will close the festival with a stellar sextet, including harpist and rising star Sophye Soliveau.


Bold sounds and new frontiers

True to its spirit of exploration, Jazz à Juan 2025 ventures beyond traditional jazz. Ibrahim Maalouf will present The Trumpets of Michel-Ange, an epic fusion of jazz, Middle Eastern sounds, and cinematic textures. On July 18, Caravan Palace will bring their explosive electro-swing for an electrifying night under the stars.

Another standout moment: Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) and Saving Grace ft. Suzi Dian will take audiences on a journey through folk, gospel, and Southern blues.


A spotlight on new talent

This edition gives space to a new generation of voices, including pianist Macha Gharibian, the Xu Quintet, and the poetic, genre-defying harpist Sophye Soliveau. Many of these rising artists will also perform in the free “off” program around the town.


A unique atmosphere by the sea

More than just concerts, the festival offers a full sensory experience. Before each show, audiences can enjoy “Before” events: sunset drinks, pétanque, DJ sets and food trucks. The city itself comes alive with street parades, masterclasses, and late-night jam sessions.


Practical information

Tickets went on sale March 28, with prices ranging from €40 to €150 depending on the artist and seating. Some performances are free or invitation-only. With a limited capacity of around 3,000 seats, the Pinède Gould offers an intimate, unforgettable setting facing the sea.


Summer, jazz and stars

Jazz à Juan 2025 promises to be a standout edition—where iconic names, rising stars, and global sounds come together in a timeless setting between pines and sea breeze. An essential summer escape for curious music lovers and seasoned jazz fans alike.
