Created in 2009 by musicians with a passion for their roots, the La Londe Jazz Festival is a not-to-be-missed event for all lovers of jazz in all its diversity. Traditionally held during the first week of August, this event has become one of the region's finest festival nuggets, offering free access to 4 evenings of concerts on the exceptional site of the Argentière beach, from 7pm to 2am.
The Argentière beach in La Londe-les-Maures (Var) will be lit up once again this year in the colours of jazz as we like it: vibrant, inspired and aspirational!
The Londe Jazz Festival will be setting up in its enchanting setting, facing the sea, under the stars and the pines, for a 16th edition full of promise and discovery.
Three stages, four evenings, nine concerts, an exceptional site and a unique atmosphere that appeals to both the passionate and the curious: the (f)estival event not to be missed, and always with free admission! That's the #LLJF touch!
3 highlights
> Apéro-jazz at 7pm
Every early evening is an invitation to discover and taste all the AOC-Côtes de Provence - La Londe wines, under the pine trees, facing the sea, while enjoying a thirst-quenching jazz concert!
This "appetiser" sets the tone for the event: conviviality and sharing. Traditionally, La Londe Jazz Festival dedicates this stage to bands and artists rooted in the (wide) region of the South of France.
> The jazz stage at 9.30pm
Under the guidance of co-founder and director Christophe Dal Sasso, La Londe Jazz Festival is pursuing its credo of favouring diversity of styles and creativity, driven by talents who don't always have the stage space to express them! Once again this year, the festival is affirming its attachment to the French-speaking scene, and giving pride of place to a musical mix of styles, with artists combining jazz, groove, funk, classical, Caribbean music and hip-hop.
> The jazz-club at 11.15pm
Every evening, immediately after the jazz concert, the doors of the most beautiful ephemeral Jazz Club in France open to make way for unforgettable encounters between musicians from all horizons.
This year, Luc Fenoli's trio will open the third part of the festival each evening with a 45-minute set, before giving way to the fiery jam sessions that are always eagerly awaited by musicians eager to share the stage.
