La Londe Jazz Festival

The 2027 programme is underway; a look back at the 2026 event: Founded in 2009 by passionate musicians deeply attached to their roots, the La Londe Jazz Festival is an unmissable event for all lovers of jazz in all its diversity. Traditionally held during the first week of August, this event – which has become one of the region’s finest hidden gems – offers four evenings of free concerts at the stunning Argentière beach, from 7 pm to 2 am. A festival that can rightfully claim its place and legitimacy amongst the region’s must-see cultural and musical events. For it is indeed an unmissable event for an increasingly loyal and enthusiastic audience, and a true delight for new visitors, who could never have imagined that, beneath the pine trees and on the sand, one of the summer’s finest festival gems is waiting to be discovered. Led by its co-founder and director Christophe Dal Sasso, supported by 80 passionate volunteers, this 17th edition of the La Londe Jazz Festival gives pride of place to female voices, which will be brought to life each evening by artists with unique artistic visions. This year’s festival is also characterised by a genuine fusion of styles, ranging from Broadway standards to African-American rhythms, and from Mediterranean sounds to Caribbean beats. It’s inventive, accessible and vibrant jazz, where influences intertwine without ever clashing. So it is in La Londe that jazz takes centre stage in all its freedom and diversity, more accessible than ever as this event is completely free! 3 highlights > The jazz aperitif at 7.00 pm A real taster of the festival, organised in partnership with the Association des AOC Côtes de Provence-La Londe, the aperitif concerts create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere every evening that is much appreciated by the audience > The jazz stage at 9.30 pm The beating heart of the festival, the main stage hosts powerful and authentic projects, blending creativity, cultural fusion and intense stage presence.
