WHAT IS THE CROSSOVER FESTIVAL?
Crossover is French for ‘crossroads’, and represents the coming together of different musical genres. Mixing rap, electro, rock, hip-hop and more, this festival offers a rich and varied listening experience for all music fans, whatever their preferred style.
Created by the association Panda Events, the Crossover Festival has been taking over some of the most unusual and original venues in the Greater Nice area (the old abattoirs, the Opera House, the Colline du Château, the Villa Arson and the Chapelle de la Providence) for over 10 years. The festival recently found a new home at the Théâtre de Verdure en plein air. This pleasant, bucolic setting by the sea, surrounded by palm trees and cypresses, is reminiscent of the architecture of Ancient Greece.
Crossover lives on all year round, with a host of satellite events that revolve around the festival and punctuate the Côte d’Azur calendar: the Crossover Summer programme (Street Food, Cocobeach). So many names for so many opportunities to cross styles, audiences and disciplines. A number of venues across the department will be taking part, with eclectic and original concepts that will keep the region alive throughout the summer season.
