Since 2006, the beach beside the Palais des Festivals in Cannes has been home to one of the best electronic music festivals in the south of Frances. Les Plages Electronqiues (Electronic Beaches) is a fun, colourful and cheap event that brings in certified party DJs over five nights in July and August. The festival – the only beach music festival in France – stands out by the variety of styles and quality of DJs.

Unlike most events in Cannes, Plages Electroniques is proud to be very accessible, as the entrance per night is a mere €8, with a complete festival pass at €26.70. Over 55,000 party people attended last year.

July 20 (Electro Fidget) CROOKERS + NOOB & DJEDJOTRONIC + WASHING MAJAZZZ + DIGITAL FIGHTE
