Jazz à Juan Festival in Juan-Les-Pins 2026
The annual Jazz à Juan Festival, held under the pines at Pinède Gould in Juan-les-Pins will this year be held between 09 and 19 July 2026.
The bucket-list event features a mixture of jazz legends and new talent performing against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. This year’s line-up includes Tom Jones, Seal and Grammy-winner Samara Joy, amongst others. (See schedule below.)
The festival began in 1960, and has hosted such jazz greats as Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald, as well as international stars including Sting and Van Morrison.
Organisers say: “For its 65th edition, Jazz à Juan returns to the legendary Gould pine forest. Juan-les-Pins rediscovers the jazz that forms its very essence, bringing together international artists, electronic sounds, world music, and emerging talents for the 10 days of the festival. Much more than just a stage, however exceptional, Jazz à Juan is a true story between the audience, this iconic venue, and the artists.”
