Les Plages Électroniques — 20th edition
Palais des Festivals beach and Riviera terrace — 30,000 m² of usable space
Six stages announced for the anniversary edition: Beach Stage, Terrace Stage, La Centrale, plus the afterhours. Fully cashless site (rechargeable wristband).
Roughly 2:00 PM to 12:30 AM each day — the organiser advertises 15 hours of non-stop music per day. Peak attendance after 10:00 PM, then afterhours beyond closing. Note: the last regional trains leave before 12:30 AM, so part of the crowd stays in town after midnight.
Ballpark: €60–90 for a day, €140–220 for three days at standard rate, up to around €500 for VIP — tiers move, check the box office. VIP tables: €200/person front row, €150 second, €100 third, minimum 4 people. The 2025 edition sold out.

Here is the counter-intuitive point about this festival: between 6 PM and midnight the crowd is inside the site, not in town. The urban flow concentrates beforehand, noon to 3 PM — quick food, shopping, meeting up — then afterwards, 12:30 to 3 AM, at closing and during the afters. The districts involved: the Palais, the western Croisette, the Pantiero esplanade, the Old Port, and the station-to-Palais axis crossing the centre.
Two slots, and not the one you would expect. Midday to late afternoon, noon to 5 PM, before festival-goers head into the site: that is the moment for group lunches, team afterworks, meeting points. And late night, after 12:30 AM, once the site closes. For the brands, labels and agencies running fringe activations — the weekend of the year with the strongest lifestyle B2B demand in Cannes outside the Film Festival — Loka offers a full buy-out for 70 people eight minutes from the Palais, with a DJ set and Latin cooking. The festival also mobilises nearly 1,600 production staff: crew and supplier nights are a real market. See the private hire page or book a table for a group of fewer than 8.
7–9 August falls at the height of summer, with 92% hotel occupancy over the first half of August. The organiser sells hotel-plus-transport packages itself, which says it all. Allow 3–5 months for accommodation, and block a buy-out at least 2 months ahead.
20 – 40 lokos
Signature cocktails, circulating latina finger food, DJ set. Two to three hours, standing format, ideal between the show closing and the official party.
10 – 25 lokos

40 – 70 lokos
The whole casa: bar, dining room and terrace. DJ set until 12:30 AM, optional cocktail workshop, your branding on site.
