featured in News & reviews Author Pam Williamson, Cannes Editor Updated

In past years the infamous Jazz a Juan Festival has seen acts such as Nile Rodgers, Sting, Stevie Wonder and Diana Krall. The line up for the 2015 festival is just as impressive and will see the beautiful town of Antibes Juan-les-Pins hosting some of the World's most famous singers and musicians.

Carlos Santana has long been a favourite at Jazz a Juan and this year is no different. He will be headlining the opening night on the stage at 'la Pinède Gould' facing the waterfront, a spectacular venue!

Another top name to be revealed at the press conference last week was Lionel Ritchie who will be performing some of his greatest hits. If nothing else draws you to Antibes this summer this particular concert will be a unique and exciting experience and one not to be missed.
