La Londe Jazz Festival

Created in 2009 by musicians with a passion for their roots, La Londe Jazz Festival is a not-to-be-missed event for all lovers of jazz in all its diversity. Traditionally held during the first week of August, this event has become one of the region's finest festival nuggets, offering free access to 4 evenings of concerts on the exceptional site of the Argentière beach, from 7pm to 2am. A festival that can claim its place and legitimacy among the must-see cultural and musical events. After all, it's a not-to-be-missed event for an increasingly loyal and conquered audience, and a true delight for new spectators, far from imagining that under the pines and on the sand, one of the most beautiful festival nuggets of the summer is shimmering. Led by co-founder and director Christophe Dal Sasso, surrounded by 80 passionate volunteers, this 17th edition of the La Londe Jazz Festival gives pride of place to female voices, represented each evening by artists from singular universes. It's also a year marked by a real mix of styles, from Broadway standards to Afro-American rhythms, from Mediterranean sounds to Caribbean pulsations. Inventive, accessible, lively jazz, where influences intersect without ever clashing So it's in La Londe that jazz takes hold in all its freedom and diversity, more accessible than ever as this event is entirely free! 3 highlights > Apéro-jazz at 7pm A real appetiser for the festival, organised in partnership with the Association des AOC Côtes de Provence-La Londe, the apéros-concerts set up a relaxed, friendly atmosphere every evening, much appreciated by the public > The jazz stage at 9.30pm The beating heart of the festival, the main stage plays host to strong, embodied projects, combining creation, cross-fertilisation and stage intensity. Every evening, a singular musical experience, carried by exceptional vocal performances. > The jazz club at 11.15pm Every evening, the Olivier Lalauze Trio will open the Jazz Club with a set mixing original compositions and revisited standards, before giving way to the jam session.
