Started in 1960, Jazz a Juan was the first big jazz festival in Europe, inspiring many others throughout the years. Its beautiful venue, a pine grove by the Mediterranean sea, has become a sort of mecca among international jazz artists.

The most legendary names in contemporary jazz have played in Juan les Pins, including Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Coltrane, Chick Corea, Carlos Santana, Dizzie Gillespie, B.B. King, Keith Jarrett, Little Richard or Stevie Wonder.

This year, its impressive lineup is headlined by American icon Lenny Kravitz, Grammy-Award winner Norah Jones, singer-songwriter Carla Bruni and soul sensations Earth, Wind & Fire. Other artists will join them on the stage of the Pinède Gould for 10 days of the best international music at Jazz a Juan.
