Jazz à Juan has unveiled the line-up for its 2026 summer festival in Juan-les-Pins.
Legends return to the Pinède Gould stage, with Tom Jones (set to turn 86 in June) and Seal leading a programme that blends global icons with standout contemporary artists like American jazz singer Samara Joy (26) who won the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
Set against the Mediterranean at one of the Riviera’s most atmospheric open-air venues, the festival once again brings world-class jazz to the heart of this seaside resort.

When did the Juan-les-Pins Jazz Festival begin?
The international jazz festival in Juan-les-Pins started back in 1960, and has hosted jazz greats like Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald. In the ’60s, Ella Fitzgerald was known to serenade her fans from the terrace of her hotel suite at Le Provençal, just across the road. (Today Ella Fitzgerald’s former hotel suite has been transformed into a luxurious apartment.) Other notable international stars at the Festival have included Sting and Van Morrison. This year marks the 65th edition.
As with previous years, Jammin’ Summer, showcasing young talent, will take place at the same time at different venues in the area.
